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.

Prisoner

I sold my soul

but not to the devil

for it is an angel

to whom I now belong


I stopped being my own

the moment she saw me

and decided it is I

that she would possess


Now that I say it aloud

perhaps she is not

as innocent

as I had assumed


She wraps around me

her wings, my shield

to protect me

from the harsh world


But also, could they be

a cage, to keep me close

so that I may never escape

her beautiful embrace


I have decided

I do not truly care

I will remain happily in her hold

a prisoner to her love
