Poem: 'Sonnet 2022'

 by Indie Stone




 


        Good William’s appellations so countless,                         

His contribution to speech generous,

        His plays sparking words multitudinous,

   In his absence, where would we be: worthless.

 

       What’s done is done, said the Lady Macbeth,

All the world’s a stage, for goodness’ sake,

A sorry sight and into the jaws of death,

The game is up; it’s just a wild goose chase.

 

Fight fire with fire, until his words tickle,

With bated breath, the world is my oyster,

The sound of silence, all in a pickle,

Praise good Will Shakes, don’t be a green-eyed monster.

 

Say, come what may, let sleeping dogs lie,

Exeunt, Adieu, his words won’t cease to die.
