Of Shakespeare's romantic sonnets
came thousands of couplets and bonnets
couplets were thoughts and wild verses
bonnets covered beloveds' mild tresses.
One thought was repeatedly heard,
"I can't live without my blue bird".
Wild yearnings of poets endowed
doubts of dear darlings enshroud'.
Yet writers and dreamers of love
tell tales to dwellers of the earth -
ars amandis and behavior so courtly.
Whereas reality is not a dream dove -
power and sex - death and birth
paints better this petite life portly.
