SunWe---Poem--Rockbottm

Alas, I am the meek in a Godless world

And will, indeed, inherit the earth—

That underneath someday I shall be buried.

I would I were the tragic prince of Danes,

That when I quoth: “No more,” I’d mean no more,

And thus be done with deliberation,

And to vapors transform the troublesome sea,

And cut short my five act’s traffic by three

Join and share this with Gather Writing Essential group (writing.gather.com) . This is fine, strong, ambitious writing. Love the allusions, the twist on the meek shall inherit the [Godless!] earth. A pleasure.

I agree with John. I am not sure if your poem was approved before but it is waiting for approval again. It most definitely will be approved this time.
