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.
Sweet little Honeycup
how graceful you arch
your lovely red stems
Your waxy leaves
so colorful
in Fall and Winter too
A rare and special shrub
are you when flowers
dispel with their
scent of anise
A beautiful plant
you continue to be
Your name taken
from one even lovelier
than you
She wore you always
in her hair so named
she was Queen Zenobia
Beautiful end to the A-Z, congratulations!
