Sonnet 55 Will Outlive Us All (And Shakespeare Knew It)
Shakespeare didnβt 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. π Take a listen

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 didnβt 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

s.
a poem based on real events π
I think of the trees (and all the creature in them) as my friends, and Iβm devastated I canβt protect them all. Hereβs my first tribute to those lost this week π³π

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.
