Shall I Compare Thee!!! (Sonnet)

Shall I Compare Thee!!! (A Sonnet)

Shall I Compare Thee, to a Red, Red Rose?
No! You are, More Vibrant and Beautiful.
To your Splendor, There's, Nothing, To Come Close.
There is, no Love, that I would Rather Hold.
Shall I Compare Thee, to a Starry Night?
No! For Stars, I have seen, Fall, from the sky.
Stars Fade away and thusly, Lose, their Light,
But, Never, Shall You Fall, Fade, In My Eyes.
Shall I Compare Thee, to a Work of Art,
Sculpted, Painted, or Wonderfully Scribed?
No! The Beauty, Rapture, which you Impart
Could not be Sketched, Fashioned, nor could One Write.
Hands, of a Man, Could Not Such Grace Design.
To Compare, to you, Nothing, I Can Find.

Inspired By William Shakespeare's Sonnet # 18 "Shall I Compare Thee"
