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~
