Hamlet: Poetry: Ophelia

  • Aug. 12th, 2015 at 9:14 PM
Title: Ophelia
Fandom: Hamlet
Rating: PG
Length: 50
Summary: Ophelia's life in four haiku.
Does not end happily

She floated on air
Her prince was in love with her
Nothing could spoil it

She floated through life
Until father’s warning words
Took the joy away

She floated about
Bestowing pansies and rue
Grieving sudden death

She floats on water
The willow tree branch broken
Waiting for the end

This is such an inspired idea. I love the repeating motif in the first lines. And it's all sadly beautiful but I think the last haiku is just perfect.


(Edit: And I've just realised that Mrs. Hudson essentially pinched your idea for the renga. I apologise on her behalf ^^")
