Author's Note/Disclaimer: Here's a poem I wrote for my British Literature class about Ophelia. I'm not a big fan of Shakespeare, but I liked this poem enough to post it. I don't own Hamlet or any characters. My name is not Shakespeare or theatre.

Ophelia

*~*~*

Ophelia, my lover the most fowl

Know that my rejections are but a scowl

Upon the face of inner madness. Love

Does not change; nothing on earth, or above

Or below can change its strange course. How cruel

The world is! I'm playing the vengeful fool

And my uncle, the hunter, now the prey

To the true heir; there'll be revenge today!

So, come with me, my lover oh so sad,

With these frights past, we'll be forever glad.
