(This poem was born out of Romeo's balcony scene monologue, from Romeo and Juliet and me using "what light through yonder window breaks" to playfully complement females with whom I was familiar, I playfully spun, "Hark, what light through yonder window breaks; it is beauty, a goddess, divine, the echoes, of rhapsody, the sweetest, of lullabies." I liked what I had spun together and decided to use that framework to construct a new piece of romantic poetry, building and constructing upon what I had, until this piece/poem was finally formed.) |
