Delice Arleen Skelly Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Shakespeare's Shade

The shade of Shakespeare is ever-present
River Avon in springtime speaks to me
Peaceful place where I secretly lament
Whilst sitting beneath yon green willow tree.

River flows smoothly ere swans sail serene
The momentum of time has stalled this day
Grey ghostly shadow am I in a dream?
Bard himself composing poetic lai.

Medieval magic I do declare
Whispering voice beguiles with love sonnet
Swept completely away by atmosphere
Seminal moment 'twas so euphoric.

Ghostly bard sauntering banks of Avon
Thoughts consumed of romantic liaison.
