Woo, you took on Shakespeare! :) Very nice, too. If there's one thing worth writing about, it's free will. And again, I love the direction and set up you took on this. Great platform, and you molded your words well. Enjoyable read indeed! :)

Thank you so much, jaeladarling :-) Brooke
Comment from Louise Michelle
Before I read your notes I thought to myself that you might be into metaphysical philosophy! Anyway, it felt good to read those two well known quotes because it reassured me about my own belief system. Shakespeare was a sage in my opinion. I really enjoyed reading this, Brooke. Hugs, Lou

Comment from Just2Write
This is an excellent 'chain rhyme' Brooke. It says so much about how we are not just shadows on a stage, but that we all have a role to play. Nice nod to Shakespeare's plays too. So many years have passed since he wrote his words - it's nice that you have modernized them a bit and are re-introducing them to those who may not have read them.
Rose.

Comment from mermaids
Your words are thought-provoking. Are we in charge of our destiny? Life's pawn and not its engineer is my favorite line. It makes me think about my role in life. Excellent use of words.

Wow Brooke, your writing is always impeccable, always just right, but this poem is stunning, I love every last morsel of this really tasty titbit, your poems are always so unforced, so smooth, so good.

You are really welcome Brooke, brilliant poem.
Comment from humpwhistle
Brava, Brooke. I soooo hear you. In my silly prose way, I'm always exploring this area of thought.
I refuse to believe in the script, but free will presents another set of enigmatic problems. Dreams are wisps, no more. Or are they?
Brooke, I love philosophical thought. But in the end, isn't all philosophy subject to the turning of the age?
Christ, what do I know?
Peace. I know peace. Peace, Lee

Thank you, Lee :-) I'm guessing you know as much as most, more than many :-) I appreciate your sixth star, my friend :-) Brooke
Comment from Kenneth Schaal
This verse is also an entry into an age old argument--who's the boss, choice, or chance? Perfect meter, rhyme, enjambment, and great expression. Kenny

Comment from RodG
This is an exceptional poem, Brooke. I really appreciate your serious queries here about ONE'S purpose in life and who truly pulls the strings.
Having taught both Shakespeare plays alluded to, I like how you borrow his thoughts and comment upon them.
Great enjambment from stanza 3 into 4.
Most impressive, however, is your ability to work within this stringent rhyme scheme with NO forced rhymes. A truly well-crafted poem.

Comment from Loren (7)
Have always loved that line from Propsero's speech and the play itself as well. I've often thought of Shakespeare and the questions he asked and presented us to ponder and now, I know, he must know the answers himself. Love this thoughtful poem. Loren

Loren, thank you so much :-) I'm so glad you like The Tempest, one of my favorite plays ever, as you can tell by my daughter's name :-) Brooke
Comment from Kingsland
I must agree with the thoughts in this well delivered poetic message. It is written with good flowing thoughts that make for an easy read. Free will is the opposite of being a slave, that's for sure. I enjoyed reading this well written poetic message... John
