When I Do Count The Clock...
SONNET #12

When I do count the clock that tells the time
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night,
When I behold the violet past prime
And sable curls all silvered o'er with white,

When lofty trees I see barren of leaves,
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard;

Then of thy beauty do I question make
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake
And die as fast as they see others grow;

And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defense
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.

by: William Shakespeare

    ...congratulation....T...your posts lately....are spot on....I have loved poetry since I first read Poe, Shakespeare...etc...

    if there is only one of us...sorry Miss V...two of us left poetry will survive...being obsolete....and besides it is a visual turn on...

    thanks my friend...

    never a dull moment...

    Blue....
Dull moments are nowhere to be found in my DNA. Of course, that makes it absolutely difficult for me to complain about anything (this is probably the closest I'm going to get to a complaint!).

At least, this little exercise is getting me back to what I love best, and I've been going over some of my unfinished stuff.

...BTW, three of us... [/I]

 Beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing.
A única alegria isenta de amargura é a de bem proceder.
