Napowrimo 2023/my15th year/day 8
Continuing with Shakespeare's sonnets as my theme, I have used the end line rhymes from his sonnet 8 today, and incorporated them into my version of the 'little song'. Interestingly, I believe that along with sonnet 128, number 8 is the only other one in which he mentions music.
DON'T SAY YOU WONT
I'll listen but be happy to hear none
A song from deep within the heart of one
Then one day you upped and left me sadly
The times we had together were such joy
Come home I will welcome you back gladly
Don't say you won't
that will only annoy
For there can be no music without sounds
Listen for my voice in your inner ear
Your direction amazes and confounds
You complicate my life too much to bear
Perhaps you have found yourself another
Love, to replace me and my ordering
Of you about, like a second mother
If so I think it's time for you to sing
A song from deep within the heart of one
I'll listen but be happy to hear none
