//Dearest Hotspur,// //I am writing you this letter// //As a farewell forever.// //You childish desire for destruction and war// //I wanted love and you wanted more.// //The center of attention always remained the throne// //We would never have been married if I had known.// //I sit here alone as you rode off on a horse// //And yet I am sure you don’t feel one bit of remorse.// //You will probably die without loving me// //Which is why I am telling you that I am done with thee.// //I deserve a man who cherishes his wife// //One that always pleases and doesn’t search for strife.// //I deserve a man who is strong in the heart// //One that is smart and doesn’t just throw a dart.// //I deserve a man who is sensitive and sweet// //One that can win and accomplish many feats.// //I guarantee you that the prince shall tare you down// //For he has more respect and love for the crown.// //While he is often immature and irresponsible too// //My letter is solely saying, that we are threw.// //Maybe Hal will be the man to fulfill all my dreams// //He is the man who truly only gleams.// //Farewell Hotspur the weak// //Hal shall slit your throat and you shall never speak.// //Yours truly,// //Kate

This was a poem written to express the arrogance and the attitude portrayed by Hotspur throughout the entire play. He treats his wife with disrespect as well as many other men whom respect him in return. I felt as if more to the story needed to be added besides the fact that the "bad guy," died in the end. This is for anyone who enjoyed the love aspect of the play. By: Gabriella Starkey//
