The Vengeful Kissed Frog

In suicidal reflect,
Makes his own gauntlet
And by distrust and suspect
Must a murderer detect.

Forever behind the scenes

Said Hamlet to Ophelia,
I'll draw a sketch of thee,
What kind of pencil shall I use?

An Absurdity

While waiting for my brainy date
My ignorant friend cried "Oh great!
Now everybody's dead!"
He so absurdly said,
Upon seeing Hamlet did berate.

Inspiring Sadness

Shuffling off
this mortal coil
with nary
a shout or whimper
wearing mismatched pyjamas
different slippers
and unmatched socks.

Opening phrase from Hamlet.

Clint Eastwood marathon on the tube

Premium Member Pain

In vain
This pain


Not much
To touch


Climb high
Plunge sighs


Fast drop
Last stop


Speed blinds
Lost mind


New dread
Drops dead

Hamlet

In the Dane's 
Tormented soul 
Expectation waited for nightfall 
And nightfall for the apparition 
Of a noble ghost.

Not much to say
No need to play


Pray on the way
To flood this day


Words have a way
To string fine say 


All in good time
Touch circles rhymes

A Grinch in a hamlet of Whovilles

Stole credit cards, ringing up big bills

     Without checking price tags

     He murmured, “Bah, Scumbags”

For this is how grinches get their thrills!

Premium Member Happy Birthday, Shakespeare

“Brevity is the soul of wit.” Shakespeare (from Hamlet, Act 2, scene 2)

Succinctness must be kin to wit.
In his own way, Shakespeare said it,
so why use words to flutter and flit.

Deep cold chill here
Thaw frozen cheer


Moon gaze of sky
Stars up so high


Late night sows dark
A lone dog barks


Dark spreads lost light
Eyes ache lost sight

If you knew


If you knew...
That the one who tore you in two, and
Made you
One with the earth,
And
The one who glues you,
Unites you, petal by petal,
Contributes to your happiness...

If you knew...?
Would you shed another tear?

Premium Member Embrace

Here by my side
Through time and tide,
Love beyond pride


Here by the way
Through night and day,
Faith means to play


Here by your side
This charming ride,
Watch love abide

MOVE


Meet moments meek as art attires,
Opt thus to seek a genuine fire;
Voice in fond peek that surge of charm,
Etch as you flick truth that inspires.

‘Neither a borrower nor a lender be; for loan oft loses both itself and friend, and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.’

That $100 you wanted to borrow~
Forget it, I don’t want my edge dulled!!!!!
