POEM STARTER

Submitted by Margaret Sok

Did I cross the line...?

Write a poem or short story about a character going too far.

A Portrait In Red

Did I cross the line?


I look down at my clothes, my hands,

Slick with sin,

Seeping between the lines in my palms,

A tapestry of another man's life.


Had I taken it too far?


Rivers of red undoing, snake down my arms,

To cup his face, porcelain skin warped unholy,

Marred by my red-handed touch.
