Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
I’ve been called pompous at times
but never in the right circumstances.
It was always in jest
but would have been best
had I lain low and not taken my chances.
Shakespeare is a hard guy to follow,
he makes what I say seem so hollow
and worse when it comes to the rhymes.
Line count: 8
Rhymed abccb dda
For Express It In Eight, 03.09.22
Prompts: Pomp and circumstance (from Othello), lie low (from Much Ado About Nothing).
