a bard's birthday

How fitting to be in Verona
on Shakespeare's 450th birthday?!?
Managed to manoeuvre the throngs of tourists
to catch a glimpse of Juliet's ill-fated balcony.

i've loved everything I've read, seen or acted in.
Later in the day, I climbed up the vineyard behind our apartment
and stumbled across a bush of beautiful pink roses.
My illustration was complete.
