POEM STARTER

Poison.

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

barter & beg

I claw at my throat

Fingers scratching, pleading, begging

For what do I do?

I promised, I took an oath


The pain hit my blood next,

And I couldn’t help but scream

Get this out of me!

I beg of you, please


I know i promised,

And you held up your end

Of the bargain, our deal

But I didn’t know it would cause my life to end


This is too cruel,

The pain intoxicating

I feel hit tears run down,

Freeedom from this pain I am craving


Leave me alone, please

I do anything to stop this

Anything anything

Just let me go, let me keep my life


I’m begging of you,

Just end my strife

And end my strife he did,

As he brought down a second vile of poison


And poured it down my lips
