This is a poem i devised for my second Drama stimulus i was given and it is based on the phrase ''The world is a stage''. This is my first go at a real poem and i'd like to ask your opinion if you feel it captures the idea of the phrase and what feelings you get from it.

Some of us caper, some of us cavort
laughing at danger with a witty retort.
Some of us sing songs, kind-hearted and jovial,
making the days hardships seem distant and trivial.

Some of us spend time weaving beautiful tapestries,
whiling away the time with comedy and tragedy.
Some of us follow in life's great plan,
others take the dance into there own hands.

Everyone dances to the tune that they hear,
played out to their hopes, ambitions and fears.
Some of us are strong, some of us meek,
where one sees strength another sees weak.

Whether you dance or whether you run,
life keeps on beating to the sound of the drum.

Those are the only errors I could find. I really like this poem, especially the last two lines. Good job!

Thanks a lot guys, i really appreciate that you gave it a look over. I am very thankful for the spell check as well, i have dislexia and spell check won't pick up everything, so thanks a huge amount.
