Gypsie’s Wonderful World of Words

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.

    I used to love the sparklers on Nov 5th. Usually they were only white, but then they had coloured ones and us kids would always try and write our names in the darkness. The light never lasted long enough, even for a short name like Diana. Loved this Ami, brings back some happy memories.

      Must be universal – writing our names in the air with sparklers! Thank you Di and of course, Bartholomew for his prompt! 🎇
