TO STOP, OR NOT TO STOP (BELIEVIN')
Fellow Thespians! During a recent journey I found a Shakespeare style sonnet at popsonnet.tumblr.com inspired by something slightly more modern. Enjoy!
A lonely maiden from a hamlet small –
a boy within a woeful city reared:
they both at midnight left their port of call
t’ward any destination volunteered.
A public house is where their Journey ends,
where patrons smoke their pipes and minstrels play.
They share the evening, swiftly more than friends –
the other’s smile inviting each to stay.
Yet there are others wand’ring through the street
beneath the lamplight, searching for a soul –
they comb the darkened night in hope to meet
the sweet companion that shall make them whole.
––– Ensure thy heart won’t let their spirit leave;
’tis most important that thou still believe.
Do you know which song this is? If not, you should go to karaoke bars more often.
