POEM STARTER

Submitted by marlovely

Life in Your Hands

Write a poem or short story about if you were death and had to choose each day who must die.

Life Is Like…

Hovering fingers above delectable chocolate

Choosing the one that will serve my palate

Devouring it whole; there is no etiquette

Tantalising liquid centre, bleeding like a zit


Mouth empty, I choose my next one

Index finger pointed, like a handgun

The binge has only just begun

I’ll ravage them ‘til the midnight sun


The habit I’ll return to many, many times

I’m spoilt for choice: there are numerous kinds!

Dear soul, please read between the lines

Your lives are forever in my hands
