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
