This poem made me laugh. It is flat out funny, goofy, and hilarious. I could see a teacher reading this to students that Shakespeare wrote it. Funny. Good luck in the contest! If you have won, congratulations! Excellent work!

This is outstanding. A sixer if I had one to give you. Loved every line and the entire concept. You paint in words a contemporary Shakes who would shake our world. Good luck in the contest, but I doubt you'll need luck. Looks like a winner to me. Marilyn

There are some really imaginative ideas in this and there is a clever use of language. I like the 6th verse in particular, but all of it is very well done.

This flows so very well holding my attention as you so thoroughly list in poetic form the ideas of this certain person--boyfriend--they are looking for. You paint all different pictures of the kind out there to reflect on and your ending couplet concludes with the perfect one.--as long as he is an artist or a poet then none compare.--excellent thoughtful poem with lots of great details to ponder. It reads very smoothly and sounds out really well. Good work, A

An interesting speculation on how Shakespeare might fare in today's world.
I think it could be improved by trimming two or three stanzas, certainly excluding that blue material.

A very well-written poem about Shakespeare in our modern world today could be anything we can imagine from a songwriter with tattois all over his body and a nipple ring.

This is what society can do to a person. It depends on the generation one had grown up in and how they manifest themselves to be. I imagine, Shakespeare might have been a bit of the above. Excellent writing!
Sorry, no six to place here.
