POEM STARTER

Write a poem that is grotesquely romantic.

This could mean a poem that’s overly lovey-dovey, one that has a romantic theme but grotesque imagery, or something else altogether.

I’d Rip My Heart

I’d rip my heart out for you,

Bleed over my pure cotton shawl

Just for the sake of love—

Veins and all.


I’d rip my precious thoughts

Like petals from a flower

And spur them to you—

Mindless power.


I’d rip my own skin

To stretch or thin

For the sake of your love—

A loving sin?
