Shakespearean Sonnet Contest: Love's Replay
National Poetry Month
When joy a man may bring then let love try
Let cold capricious ire be gone this day
With sweetness force the ache to gather nigh
Be sweet, be swift, true lover know the way
For husband one entrapped my heart to spoil
Did place his ring then ply his captor's game
Dear faithful helpmeet seek your wifely toil
Commit thy love, perhaps I'll do the same
And husband two did humbly earn this hand
Did beg my love, with declaration sweetly
Then left this heart unwelcome contraband
Dear sports, sweet football stole his love completely
But hearts do crave and mine may see
An opening for husband three
