POEM STARTER
Suspicion
Write a poem with a structured rhyme scheme, based on this theme.
Shadow
It’s the way he towers over her shoulder, watching her phone
It’s like he’s on a throne
That he doesn’t own
A ruling clone
Of all his ancestors
It’s made of metal, unmovable, cold as ice
It’s a one in a million chance, a toss of a dice
But does he realize the price?
The price of his greed
The cost of the deed
Even the gods in the heavens decreed
That this man is trouble
His heir line will crumble
When, in a few years,
he’ll take such a tumble
That he can’t get back
& any friends he lacks
Will make his kingdom crack
I’m sure of that
His crown becomes dust
His empire rusts
He thought he could trust
For who he lusts
He’s evil, you see
Dead cold & pure breed
He shouldn’t be the one to lead.
