resting on the rooftop
I hear you are a well-wisher
have you any fish?

none
to give, none to give
but I have something more
a little bird you could forgive
for flying from your shore!

A
cento is a poem made up entirely of lines from other poems. In this case they
are all taken from Shakespeare’s sonnets (the number of each is shown in
brackets).
The
worst was this, my love was my decay, (80)
Being
your slave what should I do but tend (57)
As
with your shadow I with these did play, (98)
The
roses fearfully on thorns did stand; (99)
The
perfect ceremony of love’s rite, (23)
That
she that makes me sin awards me pain, (141)
Ruin
hath taught me thus to ruminate, (64)
They
that have power to hurt, and will do none; (94)
O
cunning Love! with tears thou keep me blind, (148)
Who
will believe my verse in time to come? (17)
For
that same groan doth put this in my mind, (50)
Although
I swear it to myself alone; (131)
A
dateless lively heat, still to endure, (153)
Who
taught thee how to make me love thee more? (150)
Or
not. I’m not really sure. (“Old man at the South Pole” is a star.)

Thanks for sharing.
Thanks as always for hosting this. Here's my A Knack For Limericks.
Good Morning,
what a cool prompt,
have fun!
Yes, it is a cool prompt and I took the western view of things. I live in the kingdom of canyons.
Thanks for your reminder. I have been busy all April with the Haiku Challenge. I have posted one of my Tarot poems to fit the fortresses and castles prompt. Best wishes.
It feels like it has been AGES since I've been at the potluck. Glad I'm linked up! Happy Potluck all:-)
Mine is about a place that was a fortress to the reality outside, and kept the awakened children within.
welcome,
Happy Poetry Picnic.

Have a wonderful week everyone!

Didn't think I'd be able to do it, but on the way home from church I saw a woman walking with her husband or should I say behind and there was a look of hopelessness on her face. The rest just wrote itself, before I even got home.
Thanks for the opportunity! Be blessed all.
