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.

Lingering Joy

In response to *bwarren’s Sunday Whirl Wordle #737*

Her human departed
left again
A sense of lingering joy
felt oddly sharp

In the place
where her heart resided
A piercing point of pain
forced her to sit

Instead of waiting and watching
him go
Full darkness enveloped her
and she left first
