Romeo and Juliet William Shakespeare

Romeo and Juliet is one of the most famous love stories in the world. But it is more than a great love story. It is also about life and death, happiness and sadness, and the terrible hate between two great families. Shakespeare's beautiful tale is still as popular today as it was more than 400 years ago.

Poem (task)- 1-SB

Through shade upon shade of aquamarine and sapphire,

Set below burnished gold,

Hand upon helpful fin and skin to silky skin,

In joyful oneness with their graceful strength,

I swam with gently dolphins.

Trudging and staggering, coldly determined,

Through whirling white and glacial glitter,

Across crystal chasms and frozen floes,

Ploughing through shifting drifts of snow upon snow,

I journeyed to the Pole.

 

As I blasted off to the violet vastness of space,

It came for me, creeping on stealthy feet;

Drawing me back to my shadowed pillow.

A stricken statue of terror,

Shaken by my heart's tumultuous beat.

 

A sighing drone, a grumbling groan,

 A growling voice - trying to talk?

A rattling, rumbling drawn-out moan,

(Good morning! It's time for my walk.)

 

With a jump and a bump and a slithering slump,

I could feel his hot breath on my head!

Not a ghoul with a curse, a monster or worse ...

Just my dog, jumping up on my bed!
