Mistletoe and Shakespeare Quotes

Mistletoe with Cemetery Hidden in the Trees Beyond

Where's my kiss under the mistletoe?
He who gave it lies in a cemetery.
Wish I could join him,
But mistletoe is not that poisonous.

My lover "But doth suffer a sea change,
Into something rich and strange"
"And left no friendly drop to help me after"
Apothecary's or other.

Margot Fonteyn danced with a blade
Claire Danes put a gun to her head
This Juliet acts out her life without a plan,
But to kiss a ghost and to him say good-bye.

  1. Oh this is poignant, Libby. One does feel the absence of loved ones even more so at this time of year. I love the way you wove the quotes in. They work perfectly. Cool idea.
