POEM STARTER
In a poem, write about a love triangle between three people.
Will you write from each person's perspective with unique voices, or omnisciently tell the whole story?
A Little Complicated
I don’t know why we brought him here
It was just supposed to be me and her
Not some other guy
Some guy who just awkwardly stares
Who just laughs randomly
Who is just so loud for no reason
Who just wants to say “bro”
Lightly punch me and make such a stupid
Ridiculous, childish, egregious, bizarre
Unnatural, disturbing, appalling, filthy
Cringey, frivolous, idiotic, hideous, atrocious
Mindless, putrid fucking smile on his face!
I don’t know why this guy stares at me
Why he’s so angry
He just looks so bothered
Specifically at me
What did I do, though?
I haven’t done anything to upset him
Or to make him look bad
This is frankly ridiculous
Unless he knows
He knows that I took the ranch
That he loves so much with his salad
But he doesn’t know that, right? Please?
I don’t know what’s wrong with these two
This one has been so aggravated
For no reason at all
He never gets this upset by anything before
Then there’s this one
Who looks so uncomfortable and stressed
Again, for no reason at all
He never gets this bothered by anything before
Was this wrong?
Was I wrong?
Wrong to go out with both of my boyfriends?
No, they’ll get along, maybe they will be super best friends from this
