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.
