No, Thou Shalt Not Compare Me To A Summer’s Day
In this poem
a bird is not a metaphor for hope
In this verse
a riddle is not a parallel to pregnancy
In this song
a snowball is not a symbol for the moon
In this ballad
a sun is not a emblem for love
In this composition
a shore is not an analogy to death
In this epic
love is not representant of summer
In this lyric
a play is not an allegory for life
In this writing
a wild night is not a metonymy of death
In this poesy
Christmas is not correspondent to consciousness
In this prosody
flesh is not a poem
Because this poem
is a poem
that is literally
about poetry
This poem is a mock of many notorious, brilliant poems. I hope no offence is taken. Enjoy.
