A Hodge Podge of Thoughts

There really isn't any particular theme connecting the following poems posted today, except for the fact that they were all generated by Tuesday prompt sites...just some random writing.  Some are humorous, others - not so much.  To be honest, I never really know where my muse will take me, but that's a muse, by definition.  Right?

Magpie Tales provided a picture prompt ~

the puzzled pieces

of Christchurch lie in ruins

six point three is dire

###

Sis/Few Miles also provided a picture prompt ~

I had a weird thought:

what if wings were a staircase

with cloud banisters?

Should one tap dance up;

slide down to the newel post

or just ponder flight?

###

and finally, Carry On Tuesday provided the word/quote prompt of, "Parting is such sweet sorrow..."

Painting by Ford Maddox Brown, 1868-71

 

 

Shakespeare’s Editing Notes From Romeo and Juliet Act II, Scene 2 (as a Luc Bat)

Parting? Doth that be sweet?

Hmmm…How shalt one complete that line?

Who sayeth that?  Define!!!???

Romeo?  Nay.  Assign such speech

to… Juliet! She’d beseech

Romeo to stay  … Each goodbye

for young lovers?  To die!

(This be the crux!) And I’ll direct

them to tragic effect. 

Foreshadowing unchecked, barrow*

shalt they be to’morrow.  

Ah!  Parting is such sweet sorrow…

(*Note: barrow means a large pile of earth over an ancient grave where one or more people are buried.)
