Shakespeare's Sonnet XXIX

SONNET XXIX

1. When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes
2. I all alone beweep my outcast state,
3. And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
4. And look upon myself, and curse my fate,
5. Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
6. Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
7. Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
8. With what I most enjoy contented least;
9. Yet in these thoughts my self almost despising,
10. Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
11. Like to the lark at break of day arising
12. From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
13. For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
14. That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

Collin Kelly list Poets on twitter

Recently the author Collin Kelley wrote a blog post that I think lovers of poetry will want to bookmark.

It is a list of poets who are on twitter. Please check it out at Poets on twitter.

I recently started using twitter myself. Although most of my tweets have been about music and my music blogs, every now an then something dealing with poetry catches my eye. You can check out my twitter stream here >> Fitzgerald @twitter
