POEM STARTER

Poison.

Write a descriptive poem about something poisonous, and its effect on its target. This could be literal or metaphorical.

Poison Apple Love

Red like your lips,

But toxic like the words that emerge,

Our love is a poison apple,

One I took too many bites of.


I’m drugged out on your love,

It numbed my heart,

So I now I can take the toxicity,

I built up a tolerance

To the poison.



The apple may be poison,

But it tastes oh so sweet~

Just one more bite,

That’s all I’ll eat~


I’m addicted to you,

To your poisonous love,

You’re like a white dove,

Now black as a crow.



A group of crows

Is called a murder~

Will your poison

Murder me~?



We’ll see~


Poison apple love,

A blackened white dove,

A heart now immune

To abuse.


They tell me

You’re toxic,

And all I say is

“I know.”


The abuse that once

Suffocated and strangled me

Is now my addiction,

Withdrawal pains me

More than the pain itself.


Like a poison apple,

Our love is bittersweet,

And the more I eat,

The number I get…


Numb is my heart,

I’m an empty shell,

Your poison apple love

Sent us both

Straight to hell~
