An attempt at a Shakespearean sonnet. |
| Wherefore elegant Elegance, wherefore Dost thou torment me so? Dost thou not know? Upon thy sight excitement strikes the core Of this then molten mind and sets fire, slow, To this wand’ ring soul! Thy seraphic grace, The eternal envy of each swan, dost Choke mine words and stutter mine verse and race My heart close to its limits. Ay, the cost Of tough shyness is dear, for never hast Thou known of this intention or feeling. I therefore my demure away must cast And through a kiss leave thy skin screaming. Alas, striking goddess, the sun is come And I in mine talking, nothing have done. |
