Why does my age disgust you so Sir
I am a fair maiden you must agree
Does it deter or does passion it stir
When you are standing so close to me
Is your desire for me so free and wild
When our bodies are so closely entwined
Or do you just beguile for I'm only a child
Till an older lady you seek and you find
Does my company be a pain to you sire
A thorn in your side I appear to be
Are you a liar for you play with fire
And the truth it will out you will see
Though young I be you are my fate
And with loving patience for you I wait

Hi jerseysue,
Now there's a nice Shakespearean; an unexpected surprise.
Perfect rhyme abab cdcd efef gg, the counting of the syllabes less perfect but then, Shakespeare used to make a mess of some of his sonnets himself :-)
Thnx for this one!

So NOT a mistake Sue .. I love how sonnets seem to
be coming forth with grace and conviction .. lol
(my favourite style)
The couplet is stunning
Beautiful work, my friend.
