Poetry: Mercutio's Sonnet: Gen
Sep. 14th, 2019 07:50 pmTitle: Mercutio's Sonnet
Fandom: Romeo + Juliet [film, 1996]
Poetic form: English sonnet
Length: 100
Rating: Gen
DW 100 Fandoms prompt: 022. fire
A spark of wit ignites a star-crossed plot.
A hero’s foil reflects a tinder bright.
In silver sequins, an element hearth-caught,
who shimmers, frolics, shines in festive light.
By polished heel, a conflagration fierce
of reason-flint beholden to no house
but soul’s abode. Beware the sword-drawn pierce
which to a temper’s flare is deadly douse.
A Venice Beach ablaze, combusting strife
With tat for tit, grave slight repaid in kind.
As friend and kin to all, the party’s life
goes down in flames, laid low by tragic bind.
Remembered on the star-crossed funeral pyre,
the quick Mercutio consumed by fire.
