A Co-Write With Shakespeare

A Co-Write With Shakespeare

O London, sweet London

wherefore art though sweet London?

somewhere across an angry sea 
 
for you I do dream 
 
tis but thy name I do love
 
when this ground I stand on 
 
and above
 
Is not you 
 
Is not us 
 
O London, sweet London 
 
forever sworn in my heart.

Thank you so much Wilford B,  for coming by to my light-hearted
co-write. I feel like I've been with some seriously famous ghosts today 🤣

I like the use of Shakespeare in your poem. And I like how you say it is only the name you like when you are not there. 🌹

Hello Shirley...

If home gets back into a better condition would you go back?

Would you trust it again?

Surely, there were good times...

Beautiful Co-write Sis...🌹

Thank you for sharing...

A very cool co-write, lol hey I wouldn't change my life for anything I have the best husband and my family is really close and there's nothing but love, even on the rough days so no I would never change a thing, great question, going home to London is Holiday time now. Thank you beautiful sis. 🌹

Hmmmm ... I love your poem but not too keen on London. It's okay in small doses. I always, always end up with a thumping headache everytime I go into London. It only takes me half hour (on the fast train) to get to Waterloo.... but I don't go into London very much xx

lol ah you are so kind to come along here, yes you are right about the noise, lucky for me I live in Florence much quieter,  I always miss my home town, even with all its flaws. Thank you so much for coming by here. 🌹
