Suzanne Delaney Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Shakespeare 1

“Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May.”
Sonnet 18: Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Waiting for the dentist’s assessment of my implant screw. 
I watch Dogwood buds on dry branches rattle on the window pane.
Why did Shakespeare’s quote pop into my head right then?
while wondering if the bone graft grew,

‘every fair from fair sometime declines.’

Oliver Mckeithan April 28, 2025 at 3:03 PM Congrats on your placement in my contest Suzanne. What made your poem for me is I have been in that position. Suzanne Delaney April 28, 2025 at 5:35 PM Thanks so much, Oliver and how strange that it was today I finally got the implant placed. A little bit before May and and no rough winds. Thanks for a fun contest.

Gershon Wolf March 30, 2025 at 7:53 PM I find that this launches great and good laughter, Suzanne. And that's a great and good thing! ~ Willy Spear-Shaker
