Jenna Logan Poet Rhyme

Truth Be a Liar

Question the lustrous brilliance of starlight 
burning like flares in murkiest hours of night.
Ponder with skepticism that Earth moves.
I will accept it, though my mind behooves.

Tell me you believe that Truth can be a Liar,
but not for a moment think that I will conspire
with another. I vow before His Holiness above...
Never will I give you cause to doubt my love.


* Based on a scene from Shakespeare's Hamlet.

Victor Buhagiar July 5, 2021 at 6:16 AM Ages ago I was an expert on Hamlet. Wonder what part you are referring to. Maybe his love for Ophelia. Hamlet is a wonderful play. Hugs. Jenna Logan July 5, 2021 at 6:32 AM Good morning, and thanks, Victor. Yes, Act 2, Scene 2. There is a Netflix movie out called, Ophelia, which gives the story from her perspective. Quite well done.
