Poetry and Monologues

This is the revised "Letter from Anne Hathaway to William Shakespeare, Upon the Death of her son, Hamnet."

​

I post this awn my website to amend for the lack of a quote for "King John" in the original writing.

​

For the play about Christopher and Will,

Dear husband, it is I, your simple maid

I trust the city sun shines bright for you

​

The village chorus here calls for guidance

They who once cleaned the chapel of its art

Now place above the font a white washed wall

​

Oh my husband, loving, sweet son of Stratford

Pardon these unseemly verses I weave

I fathom but you know I struggle to read

​

And so I clasp the man's hand who writes for me

Listening for tidings I loathe to give

Our son Hamnet is no longer living

​

I hear the child sing and speak your name

Like a risen saint, he calls my name too

But a stanchion holds your head in London’s grip

To serve your unelegant wit to unwieldy crowds

​

Grief fills the room of our absent child,

        like you spoke in King John

But he lies not in his bed

He walks not up and down

​

Yet he sings, and bids you to pray for Christopher

He left the world smiling, singing a hymn

“Let me join the angels, O Lord, let me in”

Workers unions, equal pay
Workers unions
Equal pay

Two history teachers sitting in the back row
Two history teachers sitting in the back row

I subbed in a music class and saw how hard a job it was
I taught chemistry and it was tough

Workers unions
Equal pay

Mr. Leonhardt, can we talk through something for some minutes?
Where do you dine on the regular?
I need to see a teacher asking this one day:
Do we need to work so many hours?
Cause I've seen children wasting time and if we cut an hour off                         
     I could lesson plan at school and cook dinner at home

Workers unions, equal pay
Note to self: what’s really happening with writers in LA?
I'm praying and paying to work, and I'm just wanting to know 
What's really the situation?
Note from above: And we need guud pay, and we need guud pay

I've worked so many jobs, and I'm so happy now
Thank God for dat
Two history teachers in the back row
Two history teachers in the back row
May they work with love
May they work with love

Announce this, Dr. Leondhart: We are a nation sprung from immigrants
Dr. Leonhardt, you talked about Philip Randolph, you talked with love
Randolph worked with love and sat at FDR's desk and said
I didn't go to Harvard; I went to City College
And they laughed
And he made a deal to help African Americans find werk, during WWII for  
     guud pay
And he stood with Martin at the March on Washington, and I think about 
     Dr. Martin's speech dat day almost everyday now
Workers unions, Equal Pay and what I need to say is this one day:
We need to werk on immigration, really, Mr. President
It will help strengthen your platform and people will listen to you

Invest R&D here
Laws that guide and protect and do so in a timely way
Laws that guide and protect and do so in a timely way
Laws that guide and protect and do so in a timely way
And penalties that are humane



I've hired illegal workers for too little pay at a church 
     that needed to help them become citizens
And I tried especially hard in one case 
     but the laws didn't help us like we needed
They will pay taxes and build families because they are runnin from 
     something not guud many times

Invest R&D here
Organize with love like Barack was doing with Michelle in South Side
Invest here
And watch them become lawyers and engineers
And note, they will vote but that's not the only reason why 
Invest here
Because I want to hire them to act and dance one day 
And I'll sit at a desk and reach out my hand 
Hamilton came from St. Croix

From California
And I miss 
Pears
Like I miss
Pears
But I miss Julia
Like I Julia
U.S. Grant
to his wife in NYC
 

LOVE LETTER WITH GOD

 Years of love if we can with God's grace:)))

COMBINED EXPERIENCE

Love the true obvious parts and
true parts that are not.

Love the truth and
the true parts that are loving.

Love kind and true words and gestures too.
Kind words need practice and prayer too.
Love needs practice and prayer too.

This man loved this man.
This woman loved this man.
Jesus loved them true.

About time I'll write, and write with humility and love 

AUTHENTIC EXPRESSION
Personal Resume is not posted here, but love
 

And in 1998, I saw mustard seed flowers in full bloom in the month of January

              near Jaipur

And I saw them yella like a crayon

And in 2011, I thought about Boxing Day in Londentown

And St. Nicholas was Italian, wasn't he?

And butterflies like the color yellow

And I needs a yellow box for a sweatshirt from SMU

And St. Nicholas was a bishop, wasn't he?

And we'll always need crayons I'll say

              We'll always need crayons
