Sonnet I:Shall I compare thee?

Shall I compare thee to a Singapore day?
Thou art far more fair and much much brighter.
But while scorch and burn Singapore's sun may,
Thy smile is gentle and thy tread lighter.
Sometime doth come sudden thunder and rain,
Pelting, hurting great drops unforgiving;
But never doth thee ever cause me pain
Rather the converse, always ears for the lending.

I don't profess to be any Shakespeare,
My poetry lives thus and not much farther.
But thy being's far too much to be writ here,
My humble pen cannot put to paper.
So long as Hemoglobin binds O2,
So long live our friendship, HbO2.


(inspiration from Shakespeare's Sonnet XVIII:

Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May
And Summer's lease hath all too short a date
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines
And often is his gold complexion dimmed
And every fair from fair sometime declines
By charmed or nature's changing course untrimm'd

But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thow ow'st
Nor shall Death brag thou wanders't in his shade
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee)
