Hamlet on the Senses
Tell? I would never!
You want to find his body?
I say trust your nose.
— Eva Garcia
Fishmonger
Where’s the fishmonger?
Oh! He is eating dinner
in a bed of worms.
— Katie Aldridge
to hamlet from ophelia
flowers of passion
do flourish from my green soul;
love was not enough.
— Joleen Dacula
man’s sovereignty
on thy eyelashes,
the sighs and moans of ‘morrow:
the universe lies.
— Joleen Dacula
Who is to believe
claims of an apparition?
Only madness yields.
Hamlet traipses here
and there, damning the soiled soul
of king and uncle.
— Elizabeth Barbour
These haiku were written by Loyola University New Orleans students in English 205 as part of a critical rewriting exercise on Hamlet (fall 2015).
