Scott and Zelda: A Sonnet
by: James Schwartz
To my birthday boy on his twenty eighth
On August thirty first two thousand eight
I present to you my poetic faith
A man of your own ideals: gay or str8.
To my longtime muse I present a toast:
May your year be of wine, roses and song
May your year be another year to boast
Of after hour adventures all day long.
Your future writ in the palm of my hand
Your dreams and mine intertwine in my ink
Your past a confusion I understand
Our reality served with a chilled drink.
Ever in gaiety, Jazz Age rages
Literary love can stun the ages.
