   Hello there Fabfab lover, welcome to yabyab =)
   
   Miss Havishm is from Charles Dickens story - Great Expectations.
   Her poem is as follows:
   
   HAVISHAM
   Mean Time (1998)
   
   Beloved sweetheart bastard. Not a day since then
   I haven’t wished him dead. Prayed for it
   so hard I’ve dark green pebbles for eyes,
   ropes on the back of my hands I could strangle with.
   
   Spinster. I stink and remember. Whole days
   in bed cawing Nooooo at the wall; the dress
   yellowing, trembling if I open the wardrobe;
   the slewed mirror, full-length, her, myself, who did this
   
   to me? Puce curses that are sounds not words.
   Some nights better, the lost body over me,
   my fluent tongue in its mouth in its ear
   then down till I suddenly bite awake. Love’s
   
   hate behind a white veil; a red balloon bursting
   in my face. Bang. I stabbed at a wedding-cake.
   Give me a male corpse for a long slow honeymoon.
   Don’t think it’s only the heart that b-b-b-breaks.
   
   It is a monologue spoken by miss havishm, rejected by her finace she continues to wear her wedding dress and sits amongst all the things that are left over from her to-be wedding all her life. She spends the rest of her days plotting evil plans and revenge on all men.
   In the Poem she tells the readers the cause of her troubles and uses oxymorons etc, and how she prayed so hard that shes in that physical state etc.
   
   I hope i have helped and be sure to keep yabbing =)
