Soft what light Yo,
Thru dat window’s breakin’?
Gotta be the east.
“I’m in luv wit chu.” *

Would Shakespeare want his
Work to endure if he knew
Romeo would rap his pain?

Perhaps.

Although I agree with you and support the criticism of our youth’s language, Shakespeare himself was quite inventive by creating new words of his own which are still in use.

I went to the site you recommended in the following comment and saw that Bill was the first to use the term addiction… I used it for a fun fact in my work (Im a therapist) this morning!

A very worthy offering for the TST drawing, indeed! At first I also squirmed at the loose language replacing lines we know so well, then realized just as you concluded, that perhaps he would have been just fine with the modern interpretation, that the message has carried across all these years and still works in the world today, even if in contemporized fashion! Great show, a fun read! I’m loving your month of poems too!

Totally, sista. I suspect William will like the rap version as well as the West Side Story version and others throughout the few hundred years since this eternal plot was first written.

Made me giggle and chuckle, Shakespeare and rap what a combo. I know there will be a movie one day soon. 🙂

Wonder what the words will be in another 20 or 30 years? The words may change but the message stays the same.
