Tremaine achieved learner of the week for his poems about Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.

Lady Macbeth:

Lady Macbeth is an owl.

Drop, drip, drop, drips go down the sink,

Water and blood causes a flood

Of emotions: crazy; psychotic; mania.

Is that a dagger, a dagger, a dagger I see before me?

Twisted tortured thoughts.

The dagger persuades me to kill.

I am as helpless as a hunted mouse. 

The dagger - a strong, menacing force.

Evil that I can’t ignore.

Macbeth:

He lives with guilt that surrounds him like thick fog.

With arms like heavy weights that carry his evil deeds.

With hands like death himself.

With regret like a padlock wrapped around him.

With a body that is a prison.

And a mind that’s a cage; trapped with no escape.

With a loneliness like a mythical animal that is the last of its species.
