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 Hold
My dearest, loveliest, and belovedest,
Do not seize me with your eyes;
The one who holds my heart
Has squeezed it too tightly.
I am cursed, bounded, and condemned
to eat of your fruit.
You have built a cage for me,
and I am restless these many nights!
You speak tenderly to ear that has heard already
and softly to heart that has been captivated;
I weep at this wicked act:
Tying the chained man up!
