Sonnet 55 Will Outlive Us All (And Shakespeare Knew It)
YouTube video by Ivy & Jay Sonnet 55 Will Outlive Us All (And Shakespeare Knew It)

Shakespeare didn’t just write poetry, he challenged time itself.

In Sonnet 55, he promises that his words will outlive war, ruin, and even marble monuments.

Centuries later, he was right. πŸ‘‡ Take a listen

When I leave this body,
People will askβ€”
What did he do with his life?

I knew you, Beloved.
That was enough.

When sharing a #problem - as I did in my previous post #connecting the #dots - I like to share #potential #solutions:

Raise boys to care more
for themselves
each other
all others
and nature

I’m some place
somewhere
else
that
somehow
someway
there’s
no things
that can
touch me,
find me,
and yet
I still say
why
aren’t you
looking for me?

I could have sworn I was working on nine new short poems, but it turns out I’m working on one long poem & three medium-length poems.

Funny how revision works.

Turning

Turning into my own
Turning on in
To my own self
At last
Turning out of the
White cage turning out of the
Lady cage
Turning at last
On a stem like a black fruit
In my own season
At last.

Turning Turning into my own Turning on in To my own self At last Turning out of the White cage turning out of the Lady cage Turning at last On a stem like a black fruit In my own season At last.

A #Promise
A Pledge
An Oath
Empty words
For an empty society

Where words do not matter
The fabric unravels
Tattered and torn

Truth becomes a mirage
Where fools live

The flowers die and wither
And the cold night sets in

This is a screenshot of the notes app. We see a poem which is as below: 

My neighbors cut down the trees. 

They didn’t think about 
                        the bees who drink 
               from the flowers growing
               from the seeds 
          dropped by birds flying
                  to their chicks ((nesting, at ease))
                     while squirrels chitter, in leaves 
                       and bugs crawl up 
                        the moss grown around 
                               the 
                               base 
                               of 
                               the 
                               t
                             r
                           e
                         e
                       s.

a poem based on real events 😞
I think of the trees (and all the creature in them) as my friends, and I’m devastated I can’t protect them all. Here’s my first tribute to those lost this week πŸŒ³πŸ’š

Poem by Zag (It gets funny at the end)
Poem by Zag

eww

when i die,
my atoms will come undone;
i'll be space dust, once again. 

the wind will carry me;
scatter me everywhere;
like dandelions in springtime.

i'll visit worlds and alien moons;
it will be so damn poetic-
until i land on your sandwich.
