POEM STARTER

Write a poem that is grotesquely romantic.

This could mean a poem that’s overly lovey-dovey, one that has a romantic theme but grotesque imagery, or something else altogether.

Plastic Dolls

What were you expecting? The doctor said in shock.


The type of love that mends a heart...

Y'know

The type of love that breaks your heart

When I fell in love I began to change myself for him

It was my choice

Not the words of his voice in my head

Doll make a choice

What choice did I have

So I split my self in half

Stored the old me away

Filled the other half with plastic so I would never

Wither away

He loved it

He said my doll is truly stunning

And so yeah I went running

Bought new lips and new hips

Some implants for those hips

He loved me

And I loved him

The other half of me was gone

I didn't care to see it

The other half was no good

I didn't want to be it

So yes I love him

And the caution is but a lightbulb

Sometimes it flickers

Sometimes it shines

But I said till death do us part

And even if I'm falling apart

I love him with all my heart

So what if I start to decay

All the plastic comes to haunt me one day

In the mirror I'm his doll

So not at all do I regret it

I would cry if he hated it

I'd try to change it back

Get back the other half that he said "I do" to

Use hot glue to make me more for you

Mending it all together

Because I love you

So yes I did

I did get the surgery

But he loves me

He finds me attractive

So yea that's enough

The other half is gone with all the real stuff

So yea I did it
