POEM STARTER

Write a poem about a curse, evil, or malintent.

An atmosphere of wickedness is a rarer theme in poetry. Have a go at creating a menacing tone in your poem.

The Fall and the Fine Print

In the beginning nothing was amiss,

There was only Heaven — no Hell.

Utopia, eden, infinite bliss.

Then one of the angels — he fell.


Full of malintent, leading people astray,

In their sinful ways — he’d revel.

Lust, greed and envy snuck into the day,

All due to one man — Mr Devil.


So He sent him down to a place of his own,

“Corrupt these pure souls — you shan’t."

The devil in Hell, found himself all alone,

But return back above — he can’t.


Instead his evil spread all across earth,

“I’ll give what you wish — for a price."

Finding the value a soul can be worth,

An Afterpay and the form? Afterlife.


It got to the point where the evil had spread,

Far and wide both on Earth — and in Hell.

Do you see the difference between living and dead?

If you asked Him, he’d answer — can’t tell.
