PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

you can always revise/edit/tweek it later if you feel the desire, but i personally like this poem and the concept behind it.

A nice little poem, a condiment bursting with flavor, and a lesson for all. Forceful, but still delicately sweet. Enjoyed it.

"Tired with all these, for restful death I cry,

 As to behold desert a beggar born,

 And needy nothing trimm'd in jollity,

 And purest faith unhappily forsworn,

 And gilded honour shamefully misplaced,

 And maiden virtue rudely strumpeted,

 And right perfection wrongfully disgraced,

 And strength by limping sway disabled

 And art made tongue-tied by authority,

 And folly, doctor-like, controlling skill,

 And simple truth miscalled simplicity,

 And captive good attending captain ill:

 Tired with all these, from these would I be gone,

 Save that, to die, I leave my love alone."

William Shakespeare
