yes all sexy people are always in the moods of best of mood this poet is perhaps saying the same thing though differently

WHERE

You take me up to the valley unknown,
Where I sound unbeknown,
And as you lead me,
From the dark tunnels of time,
Towards the enlightenment,
At the end, where it appears,
As if the big bang was to explode.
I feel it does in front of my eyes,
And as I rise, I rise and rise,
To me it’s no more a surprise,
The banging has made me wise,
Of a path unto the immaterial world,
Where we all remain in ourselves curled.
 
Shakespeare wrote poetry according to his market.

He was an entrepreneur, who knew what plays would suit the Elizabethan or early jacobean audience, what sonnets people would pay to read, etc.

The later romantic conception that True Art is above and beyond Mercantile considerations is nonsense, and Shakespeare's example should help us see this.
 
I am not a historian so my answer is purely based on myself and others I know when we write poetry of any kind. I would say yes. Even just writing a story is affected by my mood and when particular moods hit me I desire to write poetry. Knowing others who have said the same, I assume Shakespeare is no less human in that regard than the rest.
Interesting question. ;o)
