Thread Name: Shakespeare... Sonnet 22
Subject: RE: Shakespeare... Sonnet 22
Capri he's safe and in metaphores dwellin' The death of a muse in a heart not quite swellin' I'm loving the best of a friend I see needin' But I know not the beast there that I must've been feedin'
For Icarus flew on light winds of his passion And took heavenly substance far from earthier fashion So glib by design of unworldly ambation (sic) He mistook his wings for the immortal ration
I laughingly try to enjoy a friend's playing But instead am mistaken for a jealous Knight slaying Yes I love her proud music as she knows how to reach me Yet through years now I fear how much more she could teach me
But Capri in fun I do solemly sware That my visions have humor, ironic... aware That essence and dreaming, so culturally blind A sucker is born each new moment behind
So come all ye concernings and let's put them to rest The metaphore's meaning does not alter my blest For genuine caring is transcending the pain For though a genius I've seen, I'll a good man remain! ttr
