We're prompted to take inspiration from the greats, such as Browning and Shakespeare, and create a voice or character as the "speaker" of our poems, 'and that could be acted by someone reciting" it. Fortunately, we need not be as, well, dramatic, or serious as the greats, but I have a feeling I'm going to be overly dramatic for the fun of it!
Oh, tragedy!
Oh, tragedy!
Oh, woe is me!
To cast mine eyes
upon the spilt milk
is but to cue weeping
as I clutch at my gasping chest
and fling my hand upon my brow
I stag-ger
lest
I
fall
into
deep despair,
never to wake
from my fateful faint
Oh, tragedy!
Oh, woe is me!
My cereal has left me.
Hunger takes me.
Whatever shall I have for breakfast now?
