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
Wow well done 👏
