Adam/Shakespeare

[pensnest]

There's a new round-the-world meme relating to Adam's tour, and someone requested Adam/Shakespeare.

For some reason I forgot to cross-post this from DW, so here it is.

Muse

First you appear in bright englittered splendour,
A strutting Dionysos on the stage,
Willing the fevered crowd to sweet surrender,
Before the charms of voodoo's sparkled mage.
The lights go down; in darkness thou art mine,
Free of the glist of glamour's lonely path.
Swelling with joy, we peak, and then decline,
Soaked in the spill of amour's aftermath.
A miser's measure gone, and scant remaining,
Our time abed is ticked out by the clock.
Circling the globe you fly, bright fame attaining,
Back to my Globe go I, the world to mock.
Sweet, shining boy, so blithely entertaining,
The world can praise your voice; I sing thy cock.

I do so love when you go all Shakespearean.

I like to have an excuse! Funny, though, how the process is *totally* unpoetic.

Pen, that is awesome. :D

Hee. Thank you.

Love it, especially the last line!

It was sorta inevitable, really. Glad you enjoyed it.
