POEM STARTER
Corruption
Write a poem that addresses the theme of corruption. This is an uncommon theme to express poetically, so think about different types of corruption, and how they can best be explored through poetry.
Mama’s Boy
“You want to...”
That voice
“You know you to”
Within me hissed
“DO IT!”
Skull burning
“Look at her”
Heart throbbing
“Gossamer blouse”
Knees shaking
“You’re a good boy”
I remember
“Good boys don’t...” what?
I’ve forgotten
“GIVE IN!”
Sweet release
“Look at her”
Heart slowing
“Where is her blouse?”
Knees folding
“Do it”
I did
“You wanted to”
Yes, I did. “Now,
drop the knife.”
