Short Capulet Poems

Woe is me-woe is me
Romeo Montague 
loved Julie Capulet
what e'er the cost,

but in the end it seems
lovers so torn between
interfamilial
fueds, can be lost....

One by one,
They push
This dagger
Through their souls

Montague and Capulet
Star-crossed lovers

So deeply in love
We cross the stars

Claim that
Love is just 
A test

We married
In secret...

I don't remember what I did, it's true,
the day before I fell in love with you.
I guess I might've been attending Shakespeare class
lamenting with Professor Pendergrass
the fate of Juliet Capulet and Romeo Montague....

The family feud
Between The Montague and
The Capulet, 
On opposite ends
Attracting a love
Between night and day
Star-crossed lovers met
This Romeo and sweet Juliet
Facing their fate
This poison of death
What bitter drink
To die a thirsty death
Secret lovers must end...

A Montague. A Capulet.
‘Twas at a masquerade they met.
Two strangers caught each other's eyes
as strains of love began to rise.

Upon a courtyard balcony,
amidst the angst of family,
‘twas there the pair professed love's need -
though Kismet's kiss would intercede.

Alas, the banes of passion bleed -
resolving gest through tragedy.
The foils of fate singed hot as coals
yet death would reunite their souls.

Two hearts in heaven overflow -
One Juliet. One Romeo....

I was warned about you lazy Montagues
Some Romeo you turned out to be!
You’re so flabby you can’t see your own shoes

With your nagging, complaining, and ceaseless spending
All you Capulet women just hover and smother
How I yearn for Shakespeare’s grand ending!

Middle-aged crisis is one topic which William Shakespeare stayed away from....

They just don’t get it
let’s runaway like Romeo and Juliet
come with me my sweet Capulet 
We can run away
to a better place
Where our families
won’t have to worry
about saving face
They just don’t care
They think love isn’t there
Why won’t they believe
I need you
and you need me?
Let’s runaway
to a better place
where our love can be free
Our love will keep us safe
We’re all each other needs
Flee with me
my sweet Capulet
and we can live
and grow old together...
