Flowers with Purpose

Flowers with Purpose

 

 

when fingers blossomed into poetic response

and the tapping of keys created a love song

in sonnet wonder,

Shakespeare's ghost

wandered into the room to listen

smile softly

 

and recede back into his theater of mind

knowing his influence

had played to

sold out shows

 

long after his final

quill rested with him

 

in sepulchered splendor

next to Romeo and Juliet.

thank you, Dave....He was amazing, yes.

[Dave]

Are there really enough superlatives in describing him?

[Neville]

Not my most favourite of scribblers.. maybe due to the expectations of the examining board when I was at school... but still ya gotta give credit where credit is due, don'tcha..... Nice one sir..

[Dave Brown]

yes, to reach that peak of literary accomplishment is surely a many splendored thing

[jacob erin-cilberto]

it really is, Dave...after so many years of doing this poetry thing i have discovered one certainty...
the process is thing wherein i will catch the conscience of the king....getting there is the most fun...creating...Shakespeare in Love was a perfect film to show that process in action...and the excitement of coming up with new lines to keep the play of life going.
thank you, my friend....

To have you pull Shakespeare out of his grave, once again, is like
conjuring the greatest of magic. I feel touched by this piece.

Thank you, jacob

Cheers,

My pleasure!

To hear your words resonate in others come to life through others understanding must be truly the sweetest moment for a writer. I just hope that when the earth is habitable again after our inevitable armageddon, that distant visitors, coming across evidence of us, find Shakespeares work and not mine, or they will conclude earth was a mental institution.
In sepulchred splendour? I'm jealous of that Jacob. Damn! Wish I thought of that😀

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thanks for your insights...and the smile, Lorry,

Shakespeare's ghost would smile...lay down his quill...with a self-satisfied grin for Kit Marlowe...and say
"What do you think, Chris, Romeo and Juliet eh. Top that."

Shakespeare in Love was a fun movie that gives us a glimpse into the life of a genius.

Has any writer had a bigger impact on literature?

Good write, j.
