POEM STARTER

Inspired by Reagan Stanton

Write a poem about decay.

Normally associated with death and disease, decay is also vital in nature for the next generation of life. What perspective will you take?

A Poisonous Love Can Be A Gift

Poetry

Horror

You are killing me here,

Reaching into my chest and swiping around for a heart.

I would say don’t touch it,

For it’s a poisonous thing,

But you might as well wither if you wish to draw blood.

Hey! Not used to giving feedback so I hope this helps!

In love the last lines! I love the imagery in your poem, and it wasn’t obvious or boring

I could still explore the theme of death, disease and decay, and how you’ve related it to your poem

I personally would like to read a couple more lines after

“…swiping around for a heart”

And then go into to the finishing line

I’m not sure if this fits , because I love the imagery of “Swiping”, but what do you think of grasping?

Inspiration is like a lightbulb. It’s bright and beautiful until it dwindles and flickers away.
