POEM STARTER

'It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt.'

Using this common saying as inspiration, write a poem about something that was meant to be good going wrong.

Til Death

Everything was abuzz with excitement and love

My heart skipped a beat as my eyes took in the view

The flowers, the smiles, the cloudless sky above

And then I took a glance at you


My legs threatened to give out

My lungs quivered as I gasped

My heartbeat thundered about

As our hands finally clasped


There you stood

Your smile in a brilliant curve

Your eyes full of tears that I understood

How could we have anticipated the upcoming swerve


I heard the buzz first

Then I froze

Your anaphylactic curse

Seated on my bouquet-the rose


It stung so swift

The fear in your eyes

Before our sealing kiss

Your inevitable demise
