POEM STARTER

Write a poem about a curse, evil, or malintent.

An atmosphere of wickedness is a rarer theme in poetry. Have a go at creating a menacing tone in your poem.

Burden

Burden

Holds onto you at all costs

Holding you with a cold grip

Like talons, making your sweat drip


Burden

Squeezes you tight

Like a blanket strangling you

In the deep night


Burden

Drags you deep underneath

Deep under everything

Where the air is weak


Burden

When will it ever leave?

Will it ever let go of you?

Or is this life’s feat?


Burden

Like a caw of a crow

A wicked call of sorrow

A somber tale to know


Burden

It haunts you past death

To the deep pits of hell

To the dream lands gold bell


Burden

It will catch you if you run

It will follow you no matter the show

It will end you, no matter the blow
