Poetry

I knew this would be a wonderful week, and I think the tags so far are awesome! The problem I had was choosing which to use as I love poetry from Chaucer to Cope and Wordsworth to Patten. In the end I selected this, one of my favourite of so many that the Bard wrote. How I love Shakespeare, what a genius! This comes from Love's Labour's Lost, Act 1V, Sc.111 and seems in keeping with my tags for this month.
tag tuesday poems

When Love speaks
The voice of all the gods
Makes heaven drowsy with the harmony.

I embossed a tag with script writing and distress inked it to age. Then I photocopied a title page of Williams poems and backed it with black crinkled paper and aged the edges. the stamp I kept deliberately scuffed and then added a tattered banner at the bottom with the words cut out.The hardest challenge was the translucent hearts which were a devil to punch out, but I hoped they looked like heart shaped ink blots.
I shall now go and enjoy your lovely poetry, such a treat. x

  9. This tag is so appealing - there's no doubt that Shakespeare's love verses are still the best.
