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 Dietrich Date: 8/3/2011 12:37:00 AM I was reading your limericks and remembering reading them before. YOu need to do more of them on a new topic! Login to Reply

Thvia Shetley Date: 3/29/2011 5:54:00 AM 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!

Andrea Dietrich Date: 3/28/2011 10:07:00 PM 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. Login to Reply

Matthew Anish Date: 12/6/2010 7:45:00 PM 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 Login to Reply
