Through the Eyes of Shakespeare

Through the Eyes of Shakespeare offers a collection of rhythmic poetry that has been inspired by the pacing and emotions encountered in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Poet LaShandia Billingsley has creatively envisioned her poetry in a manner reminiscent of Shakespeare's verses. From exploring the meaning of the purity of love in "Destiny" to the vibrancy of "The Woman Within," she captures the emotional essence of these life occurrences from deep within her heart and soul. Through her rhapsodic pacing, one is able to experience the emotions of her words through the rhythmic timing of her poetry. Passion Flower Oh, passion flower, short-lived but sweet, your fragrant elegance evokes my highest esteem and enchantment. Oh, passion flower, your aromatic aura takes me back to a place in time centuries ago where I stood amidst kings and servants and vowed before noblemen and clergy what's set forever on my heart. Oh, passion flower, soft and sweet, you are to me a vision of eternity.
