For TopTweetTuesday & host Matt Gilbert, here's my modern Shakespeare poem

'Temperate your hands, resisting the tide'

after 'Sonnet 18' & 'The Tempest', which collectively explore love, immortality, myth & conquest.

Thank you & happy hosting, Matt ✨️

For TopTweetTuesday and host Matt Matt Gilbert To paraphrase Derek, my most favouritest play of all.

For this week’s amazing Shakespeare challenge and TopTweetTuesday, the brilliant Matt Gilbert hosting, here is my own The hour of haunted shadows…My modern nod to Will himself…🏰

‘The Red Room’, a reaction to Shakespeare’s Sonnet XXIV for TopTweetTuesday - written on my phone this morning, so unfinished. A poem looking at the gaze of the artist, desire, objectification.

‘Mine eyes have drawn thy shape’ (Shakespeare)

Thx to host Matt Gilbert 🙏
