Notes About The Poem

Inspired by the film: Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte”

Hush Charlotte

Hush, hush sweet cousin Charlotte
Don't tell them what I've wrought.
	Just let them all think
	you require a shrink.
They saw your hands stained scarlet.

This almost awakens my memory of Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte. I remember I liked it, and I remember it had a good reveal at the end, but I just can't remember it...but this poem gives me a clue.
