Hello Shakespeare

Here I am taking some time out to write
And maybe you notice but cannot name
The meter of the writing that is here
I learned from the best, the master himself
Who lived in a far different time and place
Hello Shakespeare, nice to see you again

I know I want to throw in a couplet
The way you did, sometimes to end a play
Two rhyming lines might lend a playful note
To my own writing, poetry or prose
So, I will follow your fine example
Hello Shakespeare, nice to see you again

I guess you know by now what I have done
A bit of blank verse, up until the end
I salute all the poets in my head
All those who have passed this way before me
I think it I time I put down my pen
Hello Shakespeare, nice to see you again
