POEM STARTER

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
