Not Sonnet 130
I wrote this some time ago, and would be interested in feedback from those of you who follow me here.
Not Sonnet 130
My lady's eyes look bluer than sapphire,
Her lips gleam bright in glossy Coral Red,
Held up by underwire her breasts are higher,
From the bottle her golden hair is fed.
As on the screen the models perfect glow,
Just so flawless the maiden's skin does shine,
Whiter than whitest white her teeth do show,
Her every breath an air of spearmint fine.
In gentle modulated tones her lips,
Murmur the same sweet words into my ear,
And as the catwalk models swing their hips,
So too she teasing walks as she draws near.
But her fair construct of plastic rapture,
Will ever fail my regard to capture.

Nights Bright Days
Notes from an occasional writer, chiefly in the realm of dream and fantasy, whence this title. And no, there is no apostrophe!
Shakespeare's Sonnet 43:
When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see,
For a Notes from an occasional writer, chiefly in the realm of dream and fantasy, whence this title. And no, there is no apostrophe!
Shakespeare's Sonnet 43:
When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see,
For all the day they view things unrespected;
But when I sleep, in dreams they look on thee,
And darkly bright are bright in dark directed.
Then thou, whose shadow shadows doth make bright,
How would thy shadow's form form happy show
To the clear day with thy much clearer light,
When to unseeing eyes thy shade shines so!
How would, I say, mine eyes be blessed made
By looking on thee in the living day,
When in dead night thy fair imperfect shade
Through heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth stay!
All days are nights to see till I see thee,
And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me. ...more
