It's not a poem. It's a speech from the play As You Like It. And "foregrounding" is not a helpful term when discussing speeches or poetry, because all it means is emphasis, and of course there is emphasis in all speeches and poetry.
It is neither. It is a speech, extracted from the play As You Like It by William Shakespeare. It is poetic, but it is not a poem since it is not intended to stand alone as a poem. It is not a sonnet--it does not rhyme as all sonnets do.Just for your info: If something is a sonnet then, believe me, it has to be a poem as well. Guaranteed.
It is not a poem, but rather a speech said by the character Jaques in the Shakespeare play As You Like It, Act 2 Scene vii. As You Like It was written around 1600 but not published until the First Folio in 1623.
All The Worlds a Stage.

shakespeare's poem
Do you mean, what poem is cursed? Macbeth the play is supposed to be cursed, but I have never heard of a poem being cursed. Or do you mean, what poem of Shakespeare's contains a curse? In Rape of Lucrece, Lucrece curses Tarquin pretty roundly. Or do you mean, what poem puts a curse in Shakespeare's mouth? Well, his epitaph for one.
William Shakespeare
Shakespeare published his poem Venus and Adonis in 1593.
A dirge is a type of poem, or piece of music.
Please note that "You Are a Whale" is not a poem written by William Shakespeare. It appears to be a modern creation. If you have the actual title of the poem, I can help you analyze its meaning.
