sat a little loathsome queen,
innocently braiding flowers
with hands she could no longer clean.
Humming quietly in silence,
ponders with the slightest dread:
Could she shake the searing voices?
Could she rest upon her bed?
She looked so grave in Winter’s dressing;
white as snow she cut it deep…
Away from hands that did betray her,
Her lady found a way to sleep.

Running with the devil can be dangerous, but only because he rarely stops to let you have a look…
Thanks, actually one of my personal favorites. Give it to Erato… when that lyre plucks, it sure can sing.

Wow! I love Lady Macbeth! She is one of the most complex of Shakespeare’s characters. Brilliant writing.
Gordon Merrick... replied
I agree, and hard as I find it to picture her braiding flowers with those strong, directed fingers, when the rhyme works, don’t fix it…

Lovely. You’ve portrayed her so beautifully, which I think in some ways is quite fitting. Great piece of writing!!
