who was Shakespeare?
 William Shakespeare was an english poet and play writer from the 16th and 17th century, and is known as the greatest ever writer from England.

 Mary Arden (his mum) was a farmers daughter
John Shakespeare (his dad) was a glove maker.

 Him and his wife (Anne Hathaway) had 3 children Susanna (daughter) and Hamnet and Judith (twins).  Unfortunately Hamnet passed away at the early age of 11.  Afterwards Shakespeare moved to London.  In 1616 Shakespeare died at his home in Stratford.

Globe theatre
 The Globe Theatre was built in 1599.  14 years later it was destroyed by a fire.  The globe theatre   was the most famous theatre in the country.  The new Globe theatre was built in 1997.
Towering above the Globe was a small tower with a flag pole. Flags were used as a form of Elizabethan Advertising! Flags were erected on the day of the performance which sometimes displayed a picture advertising the next play to be performed. Colour coding was also used - a black flag meant a tragedy , white a comedy and red a history. Elizabethan and Shakespearean Advertising !
 Many of the boy actors died of poisoning due to the vast quantities of lead in their make-up

my play doh hamlet sculpture

my creation: this is the crow that crows just as the sun comes up and the ghost disappears.

act 1 scene 1

hamlet-act 1 scene 1

Outside Elsinore Castle in Denmark Bernardo and Francisco are on watch.  It is so dark that the two men can't see each other so Bernardo calls out 'who's there?' once they realise the other is also a watchman they relax so Francisco decides to go to bed.  Then Bernardo is joined by Marcellus and Horatio.  Bernardo and Marcellus urge Horatio to stay with them because they want to discuss what they have seen over the past couple of nights.  After they explain the sightings (that involved the ghost of the recently murdered king) the ghost suddenly appears before the men they saw that he wore the same armour as the king did in all his battles.  Horatio thought the ghost could have been a warning of misfortune for denmark.  Horatio tries to speak to the ghost but it stays silent.  Just as the crow crows the ghost disappears.  Horatio suggests that they tell Hamlet.

my shakespearean phrase

• "All of a sudden"
• "A fools paradise"
• "Laughing stock"
• "Foul play"
• "Own flesh and blood"

Antony and Cleopatra

It was the twenty forth of December, when my little sister Angel asked me to come and help her sort out  the milk and cookies for Santa and the carrot for Rudolf.  So as soon as she mentioned the idea I shot out into the kitchen.  The reason for this is that I had an idea a couple of days ago that if I was really helpful  my Mum and Dad would get me my desired Christmas present.  Two tickets to go and see A Midsummers Nights Dream in the Globe Theatre with my best friend Antony.  After I helped Angel I had another genius idea.
"Night Mum and Dad" I acknowledged
"But its only half eight" replied Dad
"I know, night" I said.
I woke up the next morning extremely excited.  As soon as I got to my feet I threw my dressing gown and slippers on woke everyone up and ran downstairs in search for my ultimate present.  My eyes scanned the whole of the underneath of the tree, I opened all of the presents with my name on them but none had tickets within them.  I sat there staring at my gifts I asked for none of them.
"Do you like your presents then?"asked Mum.
"They're okay" I replied, not wanting to show that I'm disappointed.
"Look Cleopatra-".
"Stop calling me that call me Cleo" I interupted.
"Okay Cleo! I know you want those tickets but would you rather go to some show than spend Christmas with your family?" asked Mum.
"Yes, yes i would".
"Fine then, here, take them me, your Dad and your Sister are going to see and spend Christmas with our family."Mum went out of the room crying.  Well it wasn't my fault she wanted to know the truth, right.  I ran up the stairs grabbed my phone and called Antony.
"Antony guess what?".
"What?"replied Antony.
"I got the tickets!".
"Really, your being serious?".
"Yeah so are you coming?".
"Erm, I'm not sure it is Christmas".
"Oh, come on it's going to be amazing".
There was a long pause.
"I'll come for the first half".
"Great!".
"Okay see you soon".
"Bye!".
I hurried into the bathroom not wanting to be a second late, got ready, threw on a coat, grabbed the tickets and ran to the bus stop where I met Antony.  The bus arrived soon after I did.  During our journey me and Antony chatted about what the show might be like.
"Have you seen the trailer?" I asked.
"Yes, its amazing I can't wait" replied Antony.
As soon as we arrived at the Globe Theatre we ran towards the ticket takers booth.  Antony went first.  The ticket taker took his ticket and said
"Hope you enjoy the show"
"I'll meet you outside the toilets". Antony grinned.
"I'm sorry madam,I'm afraid your ticket isn't valid" the ticket taker claimed.
"What? No you must be wrong." I began
"I'm afraid I'm not.  Sorry, I have to ask you to leave." she directed me to the nearest exit.
"No I can't leave, I blew off Christmas for this I'm not going!" I argued
"Well if you are not willing to leave I'll have to call security" she advised
"Hmph, of cause you'll call security" I said sarcastically. Next minute i feel my feet not being able to touch the ground and then I realised I was being lifted and carried out.
"Okay,okay.  I'm sorry.  I'll leave"I said defeatedly.
Six and a half hours later...
"Hey where were you?" asked Antony.
"I got kicked out' I said embarrassed
"Okay then I've got to go, see you soon you soon" Antony jumped into the car and waved as they drove off.  When the car was out of sight I started walking to the bus stop.  When I got on the bus it was sundown so I assumed that my Mum, Dad and Angel would be home by now.  About ten minutes later I heard the most horrific bang and screech.  The driver came out of the cabin and told me and the other passengers to get off the bus.  It was obvious that we had broken down but it wasn't so obvious when we would set off again.
Forty five minutes later...
"Erm, okay folks we don't think we are going to start the bus again so if I were you I'd look for other options to get home". Because of this I went over to the bus timetable.  There were no more buses running.  Plus I had no money so I couldn't afford a taxi.  I only had one option.  I had to start walking.
Six hours later...
I finally made it home.  I knocked, rang the doorbell and yelled there was still no answer.  I sat there on the doorstep just waiting and waiting until i got a phone call.  I answered immediately.
"Hi Cleopatra" said my Mum
"It's Cleo!" I responded
"Fine Cleo! Look your dad went a bit over board with the alcohol and he can't drive so we're going to book into a hotel for the night okay-" said mum in a hurry
"But Mum" I cried.
'Look i have to go,bye" Mum sounded so happy.  If only I wasn't so ungrateful.  I sat there crying hoping the night would pass quickly.
"Cleopatra, Cleopatra" I could here the soft sound of my mums voice.
"Cleopatra wake up"
"Mum?"
"Cleopatra why aren't you awake yet its Christmas"
"What? So the day has started over again?"
"What, honey you must have been dreaming. Anyway i know how much you want to go to this show so-"
"No mum I want to spend Christmas with our family and share presents and eat until we can't eat anymore and watch dad get drunk I want us to spend Christmas together"
"Okay then honey we will"

My Story

Unexpectedly Mia my best friend burst into the room (without knocking which was breaking one of my rules) screamed as loud as anything alive and told me the best news ever.SHE HAD 2 JUSTIN BIEBER TICKETS!!! we were jumping around the room ecstatically in a pool of tears of joy.

Three days later...

Me and my mum stood outside waiting in suspense for Mia and her mum .I wanted to go in but I couldn't if I tried as Mia still had the tickets.  Eventually after ten whole minuites they arrived. I grabbed Mia's arm pulled her inside "wait!" exclaimed Mia "can't we get popcorn?". "No!" I  bellowed "we've waisted enough time already!"   I charged into the theatre with Mia close behind where I collapsed in my 3rd row seat.   I was dazzled at how big the room was but the mood made everything seem just right.  The music started playing loud "this is amazing" mia approved "but it would be better if i had popcorn".  Just at that moment he emerged from the smoke and began an amazing concert with the famous song love me.

In the middle of love me he stared at me and winked i didnt want to move not even blink. And to this day i cannot believe he chose me.  We shared a moment and I called it ours.  You peeked your way into my heart.  If only i could ask him to play that part.  "its ending can we go and get popcorn for the way home now?"asked mia "one minute" i replied .  When he walked off of the stage he glanced at me last now im sure he has a place in my heart.  I went backstage and he held me tight but then i realised i was stuck in my own daydream awoken by a shake of the shoulder from a best friend wanting popcorn.  For that time in my daydream where we were frozen in time frozen forever i knew that one day i will marry Justin Bieber.

hi! this is my fave ballad poem 


bridal ballad


The ring is on my hand,
And the wreath is on my brow;
Satin and jewels grand
Are all at my command,
And I am happy now.

And my lord he loves me well;
But, when first he breathed his vow,
I felt my bosom swell-
For the words rang as a knell,
And the voice seemed his who fell
In the battle down the dell,
And who is happy now.

But he spoke to re-assure me,
And he kissed my pallid brow,
While a reverie came o'er me,
And to the church-yard bore me,
And I sighed to him before me,
Thinking him dead D'Elormie,
"Oh, I am happy now!"

And thus the words were spoken,
And this the plighted vow,
And, though my faith be broken,
And, though my heart be broken,
Here is a ring, as token
That I am happy now!

Would God I could awaken!
For I dream I know not how!
And my soul is sorely shaken
Lest an evil step be taken,-
Lest the dead who is forsaken
May not be happy now.


i like this ballad because it is very creative

hey this is my poem written b4 the 20th century

this little bag

this little bag i hope will prove
to be not vainly made
for if you should a needle want
it will afford you aid
and as we are about to part
t'will serve another end
for when you look upon the bag
you'll recollect your friend

hey!
this is my fave animal poem

the cat

the cat shot over the sleeping dog
and caught it with its paw
the cat shot over the table
the dog chased him through the door

the cat shot over the tv
and landed in the chair
the cat shot over the ceiling light
springs shot him through the air

the cat shot over the mirror
a cat gave him a fright
the cat shot over his image
but didn't want to fight

the cat shot over the fireplace
burnt tail on red hot coal
the cat shot over the hearthrug
like a firework on a roll

the cat shot over the window ledge
burnt curtains caught in the nets
the cat shot over in dads old car
for a visit to the vets

hey! again

this is my fave school poem ope u like

i can't go to school

i can't go to school because i am sick

if i walk out my house will get hit by a brick

i can't go to school because i am afraid

on my way there i might get run over by a huge parade

i can't go to school because i have a funeral to attend

school uniforms just arnt the trend

i can't go to school because i got up late

i broke my thumb while learning to skate

i cant go to school because i feel a little blue

my brother stuck my hands together with super glue

i cant go to school because school is boring

i wonder what excuses ill have tomorrow morning

 This is my favorite love poem hope u luv it as much as I do
 Justin bieber love poem
 I was at your concert last night
The room so big,the mood so right
There I was in my 3rd row seat
Wishing so bad that we could meet

Your music was playing loud
But you chose me out of the crowd
You smiled and gave me a wink
I didn't want to move not even blink

We shared a moment
 It was ours and we owned it
You are the only one in my heart
Please say you are willing to play the part

You walked off the stage and gave me one last look
I knew right then my heart you had took
It was such a special night
I wanted to have you to hold me tight

For that moment we were together
Frozen in time frozen forever
I hope you remember me too
For one day Justin bieber I will marry you

hey!
this is me fave war poem

war is

war is an act of nature
like causing death will make you strong
war can be so immature
happening when an accident goes wrong

war is so useless
nothing follows in its tracks
war is a rememberance
the battles all placed on a map

war is full of tears
tears that will cry
war is like a warning so insacure
one mistake u will surely die

war iz a resolution
to the people who have shaped iron cllad fists
war iz a part of everything cruel
cruel iz wot war iz

my funny poem

slicing salami
the strangest, strange stranger i met in my life
was the man who made use of his nose as a knife
he'd slice up salami, tomatoes and cheese
at the tip of his nose with phenomenal ease

he'd buy food in bulk at incredible prices
and then use his nose to reduce it to slices
his wife ran away and i know that he'll miss her
the woman was frightened that one day he'd kiss her!

by denise rodgers
