The Problems with Billy Shakes

     William Shakespeare, as we all know, is the Great Bard. He is, however, not the most enjoyable writer to read. While I'm not discrediting his works or his genius, it's hard to deny that his plays can often be quite boring. 

     Any play I've read of his, I've been very underwhelmed. I can appreciate them for what they are, but I really can't say that I like Shakespeare's plays. I want to like them so bad because I feel like I should, but I absolutely can't. 

     I do however really enjoy his poetry. His poems speak to me on an almost spiritual level. I hope to be as good of a poet as Shakespeare, though I hope I'm a much better playwright.
