POEM STARTER
Write a romance poem that is really very unromantic.
Try to think of the normal elements of romantic poems and reverse them!
Something Like That
You make me so uncomfortable
That is, to say, you make my stomach queasy
With, like, butterflies?
Or something like that.
And your eyes!
Two pits of mud
Or two grand boulders
Or something like that.
Whenever I’m near you
It feels like I’m going insane
I hear overlapping voicing saying “Go!”
Or something like that.
Sometimes I wish I could get you out of my head
But when I close my eyes, it’s you again
Ah- not in an obsessive way
or anything like that!
It’s like how they say
“Love is in the air”
And, I guess I’m choking on it
Or something like that.
