A quick piece of iambic pentameter inspired by my two favourite poets of yesteryear, William Shakespeare and John Donne.<\/p>\n
Shall I compare thee to a sonnet verse?
\nThough art more lovely and more musical.
\nRough winds prevent time needed to rehearse,
\nThough summer’s lyrics remain whimsical.
\nSometime too vague a sonnet’s matter reads,
\nAnd often is it bare of all intent;
\nAnd every ‘fair from fair’ shows poet’s needs
\nTo court and woo; their love’s escape prevent!
\nBut thy inspired sonnet is no plea,
\nNor shall it lose the message I profess.
\nI think to Donne when you are not with me:
\n“When I am gone, dream me some happiness”.
\nSo long as artists make, or lovers kiss,
\nSo long I’ll love, as I gave life to this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
