Shakespeare published 154 sonnets in his quarto in 1609. While the initial 126 are addressed to a young man, the final 28 are directed toward an enigmatic woman referred to as the dark lady.

Quadrille #146 I Live in Salt in 44 words only!
By Ami Offenbacher-Ferris
Oh Salt, sweet Salt!
How you do tempt me
Glistening on that raised rim
Dancing across the rolled top
of that monstrous Margarita glass
The golden hue of top-shelf tequila
shimmering within your sea green depths
Release me now from your ancestral hold!
Thank you K. I will take your advice and do so immediately! 😊
