POEM STARTER

'It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt.'

Using this common saying as inspiration, write a poem about something that was meant to be good going wrong.

The Friendly Fire

Poetry

Fantasy

My initiative spark lit a bonfire of "help,"

I saw your dull routine and let out a Yelp.

I swore I was a beacon, bringing the light,

But my intense enthusiasm just filled you with fright.

"It's all fun and games," I declared, tearing things down,

"Until someone gets hurt"—you wore a sharp frown.

My overwhelming good turned into a mess.

I caused the disaster, I must confess.

Now I burnout alone, having made your joy stifle.

My big ideas are just a benevolent rifle.
