NaPoWriMo 2024 day 28

Pen on top of an open book

Day 28 of NaPoWriMo.

My poem

An envelope quatrain.

Secret agent

Invisible to cameras on the walls
I float through guarded rooms like butterflies
Disarming bombs by cutting colored wires
Slowly creep to keep from getting caught

Featured poem

A classic by Big Willie.

Sonnet III

by William Shakespeare

Look in thy glass and tell the face thou viewest
Now is the time that face should form another;
Whose fresh repair if now thou not renewest,
Thou dost beguile the world, unbless some mother.
For where is she so fair whose unear'd womb
Disdains the tillage of thy husbandry?
Or who is he so found will be the tomb,
Of his self-love to stop posterity?
Thou art thy mother's glass and she in thee
Calls back the lovely April of her prime;
So thou through windows of thine age shalt see,
Despite of wrinkles this thy golden time.
But if thou live, remember'd not to be,
Die single and thine image dies with thee.
