Current theme: O is for Ophelia (from Hamlet)
For ABC Wednesday
The girl slowly slides
From the brink of sanity
At the loss of love
Foul manipulation
The choice to forever dance
In the dark water
Ophelia, the form
Of hopeless love and its loss
Despair's incarnation

Sad but lovely poem for O Day! Thanks for sharing!
I echo Rinkly Rimes. We get so used to seeing images that words take us by surprise. Poor Ophelia, she was a haunted soul.
Lovely haiku, and wonderful "O".
Oh, Oh, indeed. Ophelia! Poor dear.. Good work!
Melancholic, a good capture of her character.
I don't understand...
Othello gets a bad rap.
He was in love too.
Ophelia speaks to my imagination too! Such a sad story! Very good post!
Very sweet O
Yours are always so much better than mine. (sigh)
Lovely linked haikus to evoke Ophelia, a sad girl-child.
Thanks for the comments, everyone!
It made my day. :)
