27^th day of Na/GloPoWriMo:  Here’s all of Shakespeare’s sonnets. You can pick a line you like and use it as the genesis for a new poem.

to ask her if she ever knew

the corpse in the box

at her feet?

Did he love her

did she care?

What did she feel when

she realized

he was no longer there?

When she planned his burial

and what he would wear to his grave

why on Earth did she hum and whistle and sing?

Is it fear to wet a widows eye

and ask if she always laughs

at funerals and why no one

ever hears  her cry.
