  • Mar. 14th, 2020 at 10:08 AM
Title: The Windmills of Your Mind
Fandom: Hamlet (Shakespeare)
Rating: G
Length: Acrostic poem, 100 words
Summary: Hamlet's thoughts are like the song:
Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel

 

Claudius began it all.  He killed my father, that noble Dane, and seized the throne.

In addition, he married Gertrude, my mother, the old king’s wife, so my uncle is now my father.

~

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern have been sent to watch me and report on my every move.

Clearly, I cannot trust them, and must ensure my feigned madness is totally convincing.

~

Laertes may resent my treatment of Ophelia, but I have no choice, being watched by Polonius,

Emissary of the king who seeks to know my thoughts, and wonders what my plan may be.

But…

Claudius began it all…
