A/N: This was a project I did for my Comm Arts class. It's just a little thing I did. Direct quotes from the play are quoted. Read and review, please.


Innocent Lamentation

"O, woe is me!"

She cries from sacred lips

As she is now someone

Who's broken from innocence-

Or so the façade shows-

Into a strange and crippling

Madness. Alas, the scattered black souls

Hath spurred her lack of sanity-

Most notably Hamlet-in her

Now shattered mind. Ophelia's

Broken glass and has made her

Words dizzy; "there's rosemary, that's for remembrance"-but her memory

Serves! At least until the sun

Showed upon the river's like,

Flowing smoothly still, unlike

The maiden's mind. Flowers

Soothed her fractured processes;

All the kinds she had, 'cept violets,

"They withered all". Like a

Frozen lake, Ophelia's brain hath

Stopped-at least partially-to point of

A child. Then she met him, the

Demon of all (wo)men. It dragged

Her from life in a silent tempest.
