October's Dare: Sonnet 116 by William Shakespeare

Hahahah I got you there.  But the truth of the matter is, that IS the dare.  Here it is:

SONNET 116

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
   If this be error and upon me proved,
   I never writ, nor no man ever loved. 


Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds....You have a thing in your closet, you know you do.  That thing that was such a good piece, seemed like such a good idea, just needed a little....yeah, you know the one.  This month we will take something that we do not love, for whatever reason large or small, and alter it.  I hope your projects don't have to be borne out even to the edge of doom but we all know that we need some good "disaster" entries to start us off on the right foot.

Feel free to post your ideas, frustrations and miracles during your brief hours and weeks.  Be inspired, be inspirational. (And don't delay until too late like this month! hehehe)k.
