POEM STARTER

Poison.

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

Belladonna

She is deadly

But sweet as hell

So enticing

Your heart will swell

Your pulse will race

You’ll go insane

She holds your tongue

Infects your brain

A purple flower

So delicate, soft

Juicy black berries

Your mind is aloft

A witch’s brew

A kingdom’s fall

Northup’s capture

She was there for all

Her darkness is matched

By your pupils’ dilation

She’s a strong love potion

If you’re up for libation

Atropa belladonna

Or deadly nightshade

The love of my life

Because beauty is pain
