POEM STARTER

Submitted by Karman

Write a poem about the protagonist getting something off of their chest.

Keep Your Mouth Shut

Listen here,

I’ve got to get something

Off my

Chest,

This secret is

Bigger than the rest.


I may have done something

Terrible, illegal,

Something that could get me

Arrested…


I killed him.


I know, I know,

That’s more than just

A secret,

But please

Say nothing!


I had my reasons

For this heinous act!

He attacked me first

I had to react!


Self-defense

Is all I was doing!

I never meant to

End his life,

So whatever you do,

Don’t tell anyone!


I beg of you,

Keep your mouth shut.


This,

This is a secret.
