matc......

Musings On Shakespeare's Sonnet 73...
Some parts of life are permanent,
alas, some aspects not:

Some Old Style Verse For a New Frame of Mind...The Middle Time is now upon me,
The tune to which I dance grows somewhat thin;
A ghost remembrance of that cacophonous din
To which my steps were measured in my youth.

The rocky boulders protected the beach,
Leaving me a glimpse from my window panes.
The rocks seemed to smile a......

greyed crumbling walls
housed holy monks in rising song
now only sparrows sing

Final Nesting Box...You lay in the wooden cot,
a broken sparrow,
Crushed. Bony. Frail.
Hair once plumed gold,
greyed to clumped feathers
like ragged trampled wings,
strawed out on the dank pillow.
