Eternal Lines : A Poem.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was one of the greatest writers of English language, actor & the most famous playwright in the world. Known colloquially as 'The Bard' or 'The Bard of Avon,' he wrote 37 plays, 154 sonnets, 375 poems & 5 long narrative poems.

This poem is part of my tribute to the Bard of English Literature, William Shakespeare. I have drawn inspiration from one of his epic poems, 'Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day?', which happens to be an all-time favourite of mine.

The four prompts I used are : 

Summer's Day

Eternal Lines.

Possession

Eye of Heaven.

I also used a bonus prompt from 'The Midsummer Night's Dream' : 

Winged Cupid.

Here's to the Bard, beyond compare;

the one and only Shakespeare.

***

Eternal Lines.

Celestial signs

from an eye of heaven

on a summer's day;

Eternal lines

of passionate possession

penned in paradise's way;

Luminal shines,

in winged cupid's haven,

as frowzled feathers sway.

Dazzling designs,

blinded in Eden,

in eyes of mind's display.
