Shakespeare’s Plays: The Haiku Project

I will try to write

One Haiku for every play

A daunting project

King Lear

Blow winds and crack rage

Cordelia and all dead

Eyeballs on the floor

Midsummer Night’s Dream

Love-in-idleness

Maidens, swains, fairies, magic

Bottom is an ass

Taming of the Shrew

Fair, shrewish, curst Kate

Petruchio you will mate

Broken pates abound

Othello

Jealous Beguiled Moor

Strawberried handkerchief lost

Desdemona prays

Hamlet

Grief, conscience, revenge

Sins remembered; fardels borne

The play is the thing
