This is a comment someone appended to a photo of two men apparently having sex in a very fancy room, but it’s also kind of an amazing two-line poem? “His Wife has filled his house with chintz” is a really elegant and beautiful counterbalancing of h, f, and s sounds, and “chintz” is a perfect word choice here—sonically pleasing and good at evoking nouveau riche tackiness. And then “to keep it real I fuck him on the floor” collapses that whole mood with short percussive sounds—but it’s still a perfect iambic pentameter line, robust and a lovely obscene contrast with the chintz in the first line. Well done, tumblr user jjbang8

gayest shakespeare sonnets: a selection

turns out all the sonnets are really gay but here is my list of the absolute gayest ones, because i was not prepared for how explicit these were going to be and it devastated me 

sonnet 20 - this is the ‘master-mistress of my passion’ one

sonnet 22 - ‘Presume not on thy heart when mine is slain; / Thou gav’st me thine, not to give back again.’

sonnet 23 - acting metaphors! the difficulty of expressing verbally what silent love hath writ! gazing at your love with your whole heart in your eyes!

sonnet 25 - rich and noble people have joy in honour and wealth and so on but turns out having joy in being gay is way better than that - ‘Then happy I, that love and am beloved / Where I may not remove nor be removed.’

sonnet 26 - begins ‘Lord of my love’ and just gets gayer from there

sonnet 27 - for those nights when u can’t sleep for staying up pining and thinking about him

sonnet 41 - this one’s sad bc his boyfriend is Straying but also love btw a man and woman is explicitly directly made analogous to the love between the speaker and the addressee so like. stop no-homoing the sonnets

sonnet 53 - compare ur bf to both helen and adonis, no big deal

sonnet 57 - this love is the speaker’s WHOLE LIFE and he knows he’s a fool for his bf but he can’t help it

sonnet 61 - another too-gay-to-sleep one

sonnet 71 and sonnet 72 - don’t be sad for me when i’m dead, i’d rather be forgotten by you than have you be sad or be exposed to ridicule over your love for me - please read these ones they make me cry

sonnet 80 - RIVAL POET someone else is writing fancier poems about you!! now what!!

sonnet 87 - ‘Farewell! thou art too dear for my possessing,’ aka If You Love Someone Let Him Go (sad)

sonnet 91 - i’m not rich or noble but at least i’m not straight, mark two - ‘Thy love is better than high birth to me, / Richer than wealth, prouder than garments’ cost, / Of more delight than hawks or horses be; / And having thee, of all men’s pride I boast’

sonnet 93 - ‘So shall I live, supposing thou art true, / Like a deceived husband’ - just comparing yourself to his HUSBAND. bye

sonnet 108 - the reason he’s writing all these sonnets is to immortalise their love for antiquity - ‘So that eternal love in love’s fresh case / Weighs not the dust and injury of age’. also, ‘sweet boy’
