Best Macbeth Poems

Dandelions, babies crying
walking in the woods,
astronomy, philosophy
chickadees and childhood.

Speckled trout, (a technical knock-out)
strawberries red and sweet,
winter, spring, summer, fall
Butterfinger and little "Twinkie" treats.

Dragon flies, questions why
There’s anything at all,
Making mistakes baking cup cakes
Cumulous clouds and rainfall.

Dancing, prancing and romancing 
singing by-gone songs,
Christmas giving, loving, living...

March forth Macduff, your sword to smite.
The head of a king for your requite!

Ten years he has reigned
with innocence feigned.

Greed and slaughter his ultimate blight!...

Macbeth Makes His Move

By Elton Camp

Because I am called a Thane,
I let it come to make me vain.
King Duncan was not only my friend,
But to him I am also of very close kin

But on a special, victorious day
Another Thane did the king betray
Duncan knew the...

Seeding wiles drawn

With greed in his breath
The deed of dreaded Macbeth
Doth speed to him death...

In Praise of Lady Macbeth

By Elton Camp

Poor Lady Macbeth so many revile
But a weak-willed hubby was a trial

He had an excellent chance to be king
Yet to bring it about wouldn’t do a thing

He didn’t want to act to help it occur
Hopes fate’ll crown him without...

One who has nothing to show off is boasting to himself on the stage.
Macbeth though sat on the blood stained throne he would soon be dethroned 
by his own slaughtered hands because he became a king by killing his own king.
Why are you, then, mounting...

And signifying nothing, upon life’s stage 
    meaningless, endless, a cruel war he waged 
  Fretting and strutting, as the curtains narrowed 
Out, out, foul vegan, who doth hate man’s marrow 

Comes back for encore, to be mocked, and broken

He's valor's minion, 
ere he quelled, he was a loon. 
Hark! Death do us part....

Noble Macbeth! Perverted by a scheming wife, Oh sorry fate!
So write the critics ,mainly men, but you, Macbeth, and I know better.
She was the fourth witch who brought home the message of the spectral three.
She was the helpmeet of your choosing who spoke out what...

Now thy battle’s won and thy traitor slain.
The good King’s son is princely heir anew 
And honor is due to the worthy Thane.
Beware, for envy oft forgets virtue.

The trusting master visits loyalty
Alas! False friend is he, we are to learn
Treasonous betrayal we are to see
Glory...

You wanted to give me everything—
everything—
every last thing— 

you bared yourself and said—I am yours. 
You said— 
we would out-do Mellors and Constance! 

And I, l'idiot— 
I looked at you through the eyes of a man—
voracious—cunning eyes. 

When I stopped—mid-stride— 
I saw it all—suddenly—clearly—through your...

If we could look into the seeds of time,
and say which grain will grow and which will not,
we would arrange our affairs defiantly
in the face of current opposition.

If a thought should geminate and flourish
in the barren soil of the status quo,
it would likely be by...

Half flesh, half steel, sinews and twined wire,
Begotten in the heat of half-love, tempered
By hatred and the axe, fathered by one
Who killed her mother, the male chauvinist boar
Whose eye-teeth, razor-sharp, saw through the spine, 
Joy-sword in sheath. Wrought iron, blood vessels,
Bone and cable, one part...

I found a crooked dollar
and hired a crooked lawyer
to pursue a crooked case
before a judge to place,
but we found no crooked court,
however hard we sought,
but as long as we keep looking,
we'll keep the cauldron cooking....
