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.

Ah how inspiration springs eternal from the pen of the demised and poets of today's pages steal the bones from graves of those long dead. Shakespeare and Heaney and Dickenson and Thomas and Plath and Frost and Witman all have left us a great legacy!

Sonnets if penned well are beautuful. I wouldn't be at all surprised if a love sonnet stirred Shakespeare's ghost into action. Look at what he did for love with Romeo and Juliet. I love this poem so much I want to eat it :)
