Ophelia is Dead

by Dawn Pisturino

Dead! Ophelia is dead!
Her hair bound with daisies,
Gold locks floating free,
She drowned in the river,
       Cursing me.

She told me I was ugly,
She pulled my frizzy hair,
She teased me by the water,
And I pushed her there.

Dead! Ophelia is dead!
And I really don't care.
