Shakespeare's Loss

Poem

By Lee RobyPublished 3 months ago 1 min read

If Shakespeare to thus, I plead

For Argument’s sake

We all fall…The pestilence

The wrongs of life of his seed

My wanton heart it verily does break

Remember in memory of his only son

Lift my heart and so it bleed

My pen does for God’s own sake

We all fall…The pestilence

Fortinbras was sure to lead

Fiery my drowning soul to take

Remember in memory of his only son

Hopefully every man will someday read

My gift to all, may memory make

We all fall…The pestilence

Yes, you are reading of purpose indeed

Sitting there from the leaves own rake

We all fall…The pestilence

Remember in memory of his only son

Villanelle
