Poem 2

There is a willow grows aslant a brook, That shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream;There with fantastic garlands did she come Of crow-flowers, nettles, daisies, and long purplesThat liberal shepherds give and grosser name,But our cold maids do dead men’s fingers call them:There, on the pendent boughs her coronet weedsClambering to hang, an envious sliver broke;When down her weedy trophies and herselfFell in the weeping brook. Her clothes spread wide;And, mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up:Which time she chanted snatches of old tunes;As on incapable of her own distress, Or like a creature native and induedUnto that element: but long it could beTill that her garments, heavy with their drink, Pull’d the poor wretch from her melodious layTo muddy death.- Queen Gertrude

OpheliaMy eyes are stonesyou told me truth

but by dawnbeauty had fallen from sight

these stones are in league with gravityand green water gurgles over fathoms deep

where I lieabout the truthI lie in weeds

washed back and forthtangled, knotted,

decayingand those are stones that once were pearls

Home

Leaves are falling

To cover the maiden

Whose feet quickly traverse

The wilderness

The catch in her hair

Flowing behind her like garland

In the cool wind

And, she's O

phelia as she

Splashes into the winter riv

er

And floats downstre

am

Blue lips and purple rimmed eyes

She's a picture of icy

beauty

As her dress drags her down to the

bottom

Where she waits

A century later

To be thawed in a Spring

That never comes

Ophelia

Final Reflections

The thing that surprised me about my thinking in this unit was that Hamlet killed Polonius.

The writing in this unit was relevant to my life because there’s many things our parents tell us to

do, but we don’t obey them.The piece I’m most proud of is my quotes because

they are what makes my project entertaining. If Ophelia was standing right in front of me, I would try to talk her out of killing herself, and try to help

her through her father’s death. I will hold onto the different events that took place in this book and learn from the bad mistakes and

take advice from the good things.
