POEM STARTER

Poison.

Write a descriptive poem about something poisonous, and its effect on its target. This could be literal or metaphorical.

Little Did I Know

I drank from the cup of which you gave,

Little did I know it would lead to the grave.


You offered your hand out and I took it like a warm embrace,

Little did I know that this was a race.


I thought I was locked within a dream but,

Little did I know you had left without a trace.


I woke up one day as I realized my sin and shame,

Little did I know that it was already too late.


My heart felt stabbed, my mind abused,

Little did I know that it was you all along.


I made friends with the devil whom intoxicated my mind.


Made everything seem perfect,

Little did I know it was just distorted.


I looked down at my cup of which I had spilled,

And then I knew that I had drunk merrily from the poison of which I had taken from your hand.
