The Eye of the Graeae Witches

Graeae Witches of foul prophecy
share one oculus between three,

they take turns consigning
their eye of divining,

dreaded spinsters of destiny!

Andrea, yes, always reading and studying, it's the only thing that keeps me sane! The Graeae Witches are from Greek mythology but I believe Shakespeare based Macbeth's witches loosely on them. In fact, there are many great stories which include the trio, they are fascinating!

They were in Macbeth,weren't they? I know there were some witches in there. Are you reading lots of literature these days, Thvia? SO nice seeing you here again.

I like this poem but I am a bit confused about some of the language in it. What do you mean by Graeae. Alos what is and oculos. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish
