SONNET 29
By: William shakespeare

When in disgrace with Fortune and men’s eyes,

I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate,

Wishing me like to the one more rich hope,

Feature’d like him, like him with friends possess’d,
Desiring this man’s art and that man’s scope,
With what i most enjoy contented least;

Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,

Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of the day arising
From sullen earth, sing hymns at heaven’s gate;

For thy sweet love remember’d such wealth brings

That then I scorn to change my state with kings

LYRIC 17
By: Jose Garcia Villa

First, a poem must be magical,

Then musical as a seagull
It must be a brightness moving,
And hold secret a bird’s flowering.
it must be slender as a bell,
And it must hold fire as well
it must have the wisdom of bows,
And it must kneel like rose.
It must be able to hear
The luminance of dove and deer
It must be able to hide
What it needs, like a bride.
And over all I would like to hover
God similing from the poem’s cover.
