Shakespeare In 2023
Doth thou, my dear, recall us still?
Tho' years quietly hasten'd on.
Do doves yet fly near Towne's Mill
and carts clang up'n cobblestone?
Are thou still light as summer's day,
with golden lockes o'er which I wept?
Did winter steal thy look of May?
For I was gone, and long I slept.
A dream this be and quite strange;
else I have fall'n,

Two English Sonnets - For Contest
When a Man Loves a Woman
He awoke, unaware of what ailed him,
lay blissfully stupid upon the bed.
They had exchanged numbers. “Perhaps?” “We’ll see?”
yet now, by trailing scent of her, he's led.
“Twas but the fleeting brush of flaxen hair
filaments of gold this spidery maze
soft pouty kiss left hanging on the air
stunned prey held motionless ‘mid

Two English Sonnets - With Apologies To Shakespeare
WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN
Jim’s fallen head over heels for a girl,
He’s forgotten his mates; they’re in limbo
One whiff of her scent, his head’s in a whirl
But why did he choose Sue THAT blonde bimbo?
Like a shadow they are never apart
Stuck together tightly with superglue
This bleached blonde airhead has stolen his heart
Jim bade all

Two English Sonnets
WHEN A WOMAN LOVES A MAN
She circled him a long time till he saw
she was a woman he could trust and like.
She loved him dearly, never saw that flaw,
that one small issue: that he would dislike
to bed her with the fire that partners show
for that one love that lasts a lifetime long.
Where every word and

WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN
At first, he, smells her sweet perfume, eyes curves,
long bashful lashes, smiling eyes, red lips.
He, falls so hard for her – unsteady nerves,
and moves to grasp the sun, the moon – he flips!
On knee - he bows, proposes on a whim.
He will find, life is hard – he screams, they

When a Man Loves a Woman
When a man loves a woman, he believes
And frees his heart from being self-contained
To feel emotions in depth he conceives
With a lover's rush quietly restrained
In lonely corners of his soul's desire
He'll free the guarded wings of his heart
To allow them to soar ever higher
With a love that he hopes

When a Woman Loves A Man
She said,"Mama, how can I know true love
Instead of just another passing thing?"
Mama smiled,said,"That comes from up above!
God makes it clear when it's not just a fling.
"The sky will be bluer, bluer by far -
Birds wil sing as if they are happier
And you will be thrilled to be who you

When I call you my dear- you come to me,
Each time without delay I feel your love;
I want to hold this love forever see,
Today, tomorrow- sweetheart stars above.
Then, I am lost in labyrinths dark, deep,
And searching darling always angel mine;
I hear you cry, from faraway you

Wounds Of Love

Hey I gave you all my birds of dimple
As I loved the umbrella you offered
A lovely nest for my mind so nimble
A bouquet to hold my suffering shard
Little did I know you'll begin looking
outside your heart for new light-falls on pool
Though my sea shores you were still exploiting
Called it spectacle wonderfully cool
My mind
