Room With A View

This is a picture I took looking out from a window in Shakespeare's childhood home.

Hark! who looks out yonder window with woe

A lover’s quarrel of footprints in snow

‘Tis lost thy source which aches within thy heart

Though world has warned by calling thee a tart

Ignored thy ignorant words spit out of spite

Found thee defending that grew into a fight

Is thou love really a harlot in disguise,

Or how thee praised with acts of idolized?

How shall thee find the answer to thy prayers

To silence forever along with thy tears?


I wrote this for fun. I am sure... no I'm positive I misused 'thy' and 'thee,' and the more I searched for a definition each link wound up confusing me more. I'd love to hear your thoughts and *clears throat* corrections on my usage.

Have a great day and week! If I'm not back in time, you can start the Thanksgiving dinner without me. Happy Thanksgiving!

  4. Hey Kimmi, How about that. Congrats on the publishing. I'm glad you lurves my poem and I love that picture. No one was supposed to take pictures inside his house, but I don't always listen.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you. Tell the Family I said hello. :)
