A great poem fic. Very good.

Jeeze, just becuase her penname has to words strung together doesn't mean you can flame. Also, on your reason to flames, you say "you've been flamed becuase your writing is shit" but pennames have NOTHING to do with writing.

This is excellent! And Shakespearean. I don't even pretend that I could ever write like Shakespeare, but your poem is lovely! It makes me quite jealous.

The bit about the river was beautiful! Of course.

I have to add that I'm highly amused by the fact that our friend "Flame Rising," although unable to produce a story him/herself, feels the need not only to flame both of our stories, but to copy and paste the EXACT. SAME. REVIEW, word for word, on each. What satisfaction do sad little people like this get out of pulling such obnoxious stunts?

But I digress. Your poem! I loved it.

Awesome poem. I always somewhat related to Ophelia--I mean, she does, after all, go insane. Seriously, though, I do love your poem. I love Hamlet--it's my favorite Shakespearian play. I liked your word choice for starts (alas, the scattered black souls/hath spurred her lack of sanity), and then I also liked the way you said things like: "Showed upon the river’s like,/Flowing smoothly still, unlike/The maiden’s mind. "
Keep writing.
