A poem written for the following contest on the AllPoetry website Shakespeare Revisited:Try your hand at rewriting the three famous Shakespearean quotes / lines below. Attempt to recreate the sentiment / meaning using your own words. A maximum of 20 words per quote please. 1) "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet". 2) "The course of true love never did run smooth". 3) "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players". 63 words, 3 over the 20 per quote limit, but I submitted it anyway. Like Shakespeare, it's iambic but hexameter rather than pentameter, and each set of phrases is part of our lives together and addresses each of the quotes to create a full poem. Those who know Juliet well may have been corrected that her name "had no stutter" and was not spelt Juliette. I changed this to "Annette"in the poem. It scans better and avoids repetition, something I could not afford in such a brief poem.
