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
