Random Thoughts On Men

Midweek Motif Poets United

With Shakespeare Quotes


Georges Correface

in action how like an angel!
in apprehension how like a god !

come live with me and be my love
and i will make you cups of tea
laced with ouzo retsina yippee !




i wandered lonely as a cloud
but now
Under love's heavy burden do I sink




what a piece of work is man
not so much brain as ear wax! 
Love is merely a madness




Whoever loved that loved not at first sight
And so, all yours
The prize of all too precious you
Sit by my side and let the world slip;

  1. Okay, these made me smile, especially love's heavy burden and the not killing them in their sleep. LOL. Made my day!

  3. You have to give to Bill he certainly had a way with words. I especially like "...man not so much a brain as earwax!"

  4. Hi Rall, Half way through, the voice of your poem changed her mind about love--but then invites the wonderful man--tthe actor(?) to sit by her side. DOes she only love through poetic illusion? I like the quotes you chose from Shakespeare and the Wordsworth as well.

  5. A most excellent collage of him that is man!

    Love this:

    in action how like an angel!
    in apprehension how like a god !

    come live with me and be my love
    and i will make you cups of tea
    laced with ouzo retsina yippee !

    (I think Shakespeare was on a high when he wrote of man!)
