If sensitive to heavy make-up
Stay up three too four nights
ahead of the celebration

Drink pots of coffee
or diet supplements
Recite Shakespearan
lines from That Play!

It is interesting how men
plying the waters of ambition
oft Ply the women of equal
unsated lust for said
safe security of such slaked
curse of corrupt collusion
of close co habitation

beautiful short on this
one of my favourite themes
my ambitious little women
were stunning...

ive woken to butcher knives
held to my chest for the sins
of men...Hostage negotiator
skills came in that one...
Just a bad dream honey..I hear
U...OR...waking up and they
are standing mute in the
moonlight over U...
backing out of the room..
Check wallet..nope wasnt
that...

the power of the women
are mythical as mens
role in politics
and women through
the short history
but virulence of man!

thank U!

the story from a previous writer who could not stand the fact that the hero of battle, voted into a position of responsibility by his contemporaries was not part of the noble line of kings. Juliet asked what is in a name? A lot in this case.

This Rhyku questions what would happen if Macbeth and his wife were contemporary persons and if Lady Macbeth, instead of being the power behind the throne, made her own grab for the throne following the rule of her spouse. The objection to the Macbeths may have been their lack of sang real but the problem was that their san greal was the throne at all costs and the steps to the throne were littered with an unholy host of corpses.

Keith, I think you are a snappy chappy and have a good grip on Haiku. In Rhyku, the title is descriptive of the Rhyku and Lady Macbeth conjures up the story of Shakespeare's Macbeth and the Rhyku carries on from that point of reference.
