Hamlet

Mind in disarray, thoughts cloudy, think he must
Scheming plans avenge his new father’s crimes
Acts obscured true feelings full of fog
None know why acts he like the roving mimes

By himself plans are devised to mend
His talk draws their blinds inconvenient truth
Stairs of doom he continually ascends
Seeking, searching, to find who is at fault

Speech riddled with riddles Joker he molds
Speaks like a fool is considered no threat
His mother he confronts and gently scolds
Royalty gather and begin to bet

His sword quickly drawn in his hands he holds
As his plan to avenge quickly unfolds

About: This is a pretty terrible poem I wrote this for a class assignment in 2008. I forget what inspired me to use this particular style, but it's obviously based on Hamlet's plot to murder Laertes.
The first paragraph describes Hamlet from the viewpoint of the characters in the novel, then it transitions to describing Hamlet based on the assumption he is acting insane is to protect himself.
