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.
Corruption 1
Arrogance and elegance
Tucked into one small frame
Eyes flicker to the window
Gaunt face estranged
from reality
Distortions and hallucinations greet
A meth troubled mind
He paces
The cocaine still in his system
The paranoia is still with him
Bloodshot eyes have stolen a nights sleep from a pacing skeleton
He’s convinced the place is overrun with police
When no one’s there
Sobriety is a luxury/ impossibility
Swears every second sentence grace his entrance
We are the well intentioned
Yet we enable
No one on this earth can keep him stable.
