POEM STARTER
Submitted by Brittany Lawson
Write a poem about someone stuck in a cycle of self destruction. Just as they are about to exit the cycle or have a breakthrough, the poem starts back at the beginning.
A Bracelet Is A Trap
First, a burst of the worst,
Rehearsed and coerced and traversed and unearthed,
Thirst of a cursed sunburst, cloudburst, starburst is immersed,
At the worst, a feetfirst bloodthirst.
Teeth sheathed in a bitter wreath,
Bitter like a quitter, a hitter or a sad little critter,
Ad for an armour-clad notepad,
Not yet unclad from the mad, not yet glad.
Don't fret, don't fright,
No need to sweat at a threat or a debt,
Deep-set, coldsweat cassette of an asset,
Forget!
Not a duet onset so quickset as the sunset.
