Acrostic Sandrine Vaillant Ii  after William Shakespeare Sonnet Xviii Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

Shall I compare thee?  In what galaxy,
Alas! when, where, which mirror could reflect
Nature's beauty with such wisdom decked? -
Despising self, Time rhymes in time with thee!
Rash proves comparison where thou, bright sun
Incarnate are, bring universal joy,
Now Big Bang starts again - all else sulk glum.
Exchange with you all would - no idle ploy;
Valiant the name that frames fame's « all in one »
As end, beginning are you, root, fruit, tree,
Inside and out, earth, sea, sky; butter, bun,
Life with all life coeval, past, to be!
Let soon thy progeny succeed to seed fresh part,
Arrangements Necessary Take to heart!
