Or

Terrorise

Or
-
Maim
-
Though deceived
-
(As many are)
-
Such beliefs

Men do proclaim

Morning



Cold wind buffets faces rudely

In the early morning light

Sending tears not of sadness

As we leave our place of night

Into a world of a pale half moon

Flying high in a daytime sky

For a second an awareness

Shelter is how we survive

Reminding us

We are of nature

And

From nature

Cannot hide

Robin



Image Dangermouse




Redbreast Robin

Stands 'pon two small stakes
Both angled steady, for appearance sake
-
As mariners might stand upon a heaving deck
He owns wherever he doth set
-
So small a thing, he looks with steady eye
On all who might approach
His sturdy thigh
-
This bird
-
An ounce of fluff and sinew, chance some bone
-
His heart a pea
-
Was from a Tiger
Surely grown

Sonnet 66 - comment..





Each word here hearkens from the past
-
Each word here speaks
Of bitter winters blast
-

Of England
in
Elizabethan cloak

And yet
Of life, of death invited, e'en invoked
-
Where all of consequence
Time ordered
Now be broke
-
Save love alone for one
-
For whom these words he wrote..

Comment on Sonnet 66 by William Shakespeare



By Emotion Borne





World that we wear
-
By time
From
Spirit torn
-
Through simple love t''would seem
-
We may become
-
Immortal
-
By
Emotion
-
Born

Tribute to..


Marsh marigolds at sunrise spring
From
Stratford's marshes green

Where Shakespeare
Beauty doth compare
With larks that sweetness sing
