Death

Greed


Magic



And blood.
These words tell


Of



Tragedy and gore.

How Macbeth came


To



Power.

And much

Much


More.

With selfishness


And desire




He murdered the King.
Then

Setup


The guards with the guilt of his deed.

This and more


Will be told



When all comes undone.

At the Battle of Dunsinane



Upon Birnam wood.


The author's comments:

I wrote this poem after studying Macbeth - The Scottish Play. I wanted to make the poem be like the lines of the play when a different actor started to speak before the Iambic Pentameter was finished in that line.
