Looks like 2013 was a good year for April blog intros. Here's Day 23's intro from 2013: Day 23. Today is Shakespeare's birthday, born 1564. Had he been an Old Testament patriarch, he would be turning 449 today. Or maybe if he was Methuselah's lesser-known sibling, then four and a half centuries would be a walk in the park.Happy Shakespeare's birthday, everyone! And now, today's prompts. Maureen Thorson’s NaPoWriMo prompt: “[W]rite a poem about, or involving, a superhero, taking your inspiration from these four poems in which Lucille Clifton addresses Clark Kent/Superman.” Robert Lee Brewer’s Poem-a-Day suggestion: “For today's Two-for-Tuesday prompt: 1) Write a "(blank) of the Heart" poem, and/or . . . 2) Write a "Heart of the (blank)" poem.” Today, in honor of Shakespeare's birthday, here is a slapstick-humorous Shakesperean sonnet, merging all three prompts: Shakespeare as a superhero, with a reference to his heart, even!

This is great life, you give, to our Shakespeare:
Alive in your poetic atmosphere!
--Jesse
Oh.. to be alive or not to be..
the Bard is alive indeed here, I can see..

Of course it’s a Shakespearean sonnet,
With your unique splash of humor on it!
(Love the cartoon too.)
