Poem Artwork

The stage is awash with lights,
The time is almost midnight,
All the world's; Who said those words?
Shakespeare, yes; its not absurd.

Nope, our lines having been writ,
To make a neat, proper fit,
The Bard penned many a line,
They have matured like good wine.

Certainly best to heed the Bard's words, regardless who the Bard may be.

Does aging mean getting pickled? ;-)

...and on them I dine,
just as I do,
those words from you,Jerry.
A succinct and witty an' very true write.
Always a pleasure to read your poems.
Best wishes always
from
Kay.

I cannot even pretend to understand Shakespeare or the British for that matter and I lived in the UK for three years. Americans like a cold beer while Brit's drink it warm, tart, and bitter. Most Americans prefer coffee while the Bit's love their tea. But when it comes to wine that's where the two intertwine. I say over 55 we ALL need "High TEST" wine to enjoy to celebrate the "over the hill" time of life! Enjoyed the poem!
Cheers!

Indeed he has, just as you have penned many a line that came out as "matured wine" as well, and not that cheap Burgundy you sometimes drink!

Yes, his words have sustained time become greater with every read. His words, like a fine wine, should be savored. 'Enjoyed!

Love ya!

Nice homage to Will, I'm sure he would appreciate your thoughts.
