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!

I was reading your limericks and remembering reading them before. YOu need to do more of them on a new topic!

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
