Ode to gertie

Ode to Gertrude- Hamlet’s mother
by-me

Oh Gertie
How Shakespeare has mistaken
The power of your eyes
And of your silhouette

You might not be
A lady Macbeth
But you are just as powerful

How quiet you were
My dear Gertrude
How imposing
How sensual

Dear Hamlet
For the love of your mother
You killed your uncle

Was it worth it
in the end

Doubt that your mother
loved your uncle
Doubt that your best friends
tried to kill you
But never doubt the
power of a mother
