The Bard's Wind - Acrostrain

Wind that I pass poisons air with one blow
It stinks to the moon, stays 'til the morrow
Nonchalant, nearly blue, frown on my brow
Don't hold it; Farting is such sweet sorrow. 1





Notes:
1.	A play on Shakespeare's famous line, Romeo and Juliet: Act 2, Scene 2.

2.	While I do not wish to offend the fine sensibilities of our more delicate poets, most of us are familiar with the The Bard’s propensity to include references to farting in his plays. To name a few:
Comedy of Errors: Scene I; Two Gentlemen of Verona: Scene IV; and Henry IV: Part I

Kim, as you can tell from the comments below, this has plenty of humor and fun. I like it, but I would change the last line and give Shakespeare the last laugh... Don't hold it; "Farting is such sweet sorrow". Great job!

A real "toot" of a poem that makes us take life a little less seriously and with a shrug after all it happens! Emile.

Okay, Kim. You could also keep the form requirements by inserting "it" before the semicolon, and eliminate the "a" ( Don't hold it; "Farting is such sweet sorrow". ) Still a great write, I just wanted to show you an alternative. Good luck in the contest.
