Through the Eyes of Shakespeare (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781462002276)

Through the Eyes of Shakespeare offers a collection of rhythmic poetry that has been inspired by the pacing and emotions encountered in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Poet LaShandia Billingsley has creatively envisioned her poetry in a manner reminiscent of Shakespeare's verses. From exploring the meaning of the purity of love in "Destiny" to the vibrancy of "The Woman Within," she captures the emotional essence of these life occurrences from deep within her heart and soul. Through her rhapsodic pacing, one is able to experience the emotions of her words through the rhythmic timing of her poetry.

Passion Flower

Oh, passion flower,
short-lived but sweet,
your fragrant elegance
evokes my highest esteem
and enchantment.

Oh, passion flower,
your aromatic aura
takes me back
to a place in time centuries ago
where I stood amidst
kings and servants
and vowed before noblemen and clergy
what's set forever on my heart.

Oh, passion flower,
soft and sweet, you are to me
a vision of eternity.
