a home for homeless literature
Here is my love on paper (screen, whatever...). O how I adore William Shakespeare...let me count the ways....
Fancy's warbler, thou dost indeed delight
Eternal fancy for eloquent verse.
Esteemèd rival whom I cannot fight,
Yet I am blessed by this propitious curse.
My art is weak, to this add fleeting scope:
The heaven's muse with you I long to hear,
That with righteous truth I too may elope,
Enchanted by the music of the spheres.
Thou who came undisguised in prophet's cloak,
With n'er crown nor birth nor sagacious sign.
They came and to the multitudes they spoke,
But thy words shall endure the test of time.
In thou the gods did perfect ear create,
But lo! From them thou has't dislodged thy fate.

Like waiting against the gymnasium wall at a grade school dance.
Imagine if Amir and Shakespeare had a baby. It would be called Amirspeare.
Oh, and I nearly forgot:
ure beautiful....
Hmm, your exercise in shakespeareness is harder than it looks. How long does it take you to compose this kind of verse?
at that point in my writing career, id say it averaged out to about an hour per line....so fourteen hours i guess...not all at once of course..
You crazy bastard.
