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.

Cravings

Craving a it all
a plate full of yummy
A forkful of sweetness
how bad it is for me

Never allowed
to have the main dish
Bits and pieces only
no matter my wish

To know it’s all mine
what a thoughtful delight
Not wanting to share
maybe give up on the fight

Not knowing what’s worse
a bit now and then
Or give it all up
and never have it again

    I’d vote for having a little bit now and then.

        Total abstinence is very hard.
