Othello, Othello, the question I ask is
Who would hold firm, solid
The foundation of this house
Never open your palms to a fortune teller with tricks
The future is made of many parts in manuscripts
Before being presented on production stage as play
Re-writes are constant and winds change directions
That is why the weather man, finds it hard
As noble men do, to have a sound reputation
To be cast in the same light as a politician
Othello, Othello who would hold firm
The foundation of this house

ReplyDeleteNice play on a great Shakespeare story. Othello, Othello may not have kept the foundation together. I just love the whole flow of your poem.
ReplyDeleteHappy Theme Thursday and a great Foundation poem.
God bless.
I would like to know Othello's answer, if any...
ReplyDeleteVery original take on the prompt, excellent rhythm all through your poem.
My favourite lines:
"...winds change directions
That is why the weather man finds it hard,
As noble men do, to have a sound reputation"
(no comma after weather man, I think, but after hard).
