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.

Etch A Life

You were the song I use to sing.

A note I used to listen to.

The drums I played.

The melody I made up in my head.


The broken pencil that sketched an art.

The art that meant every single word.

A word I couldn't couldn't write.


All a scene trying to find the difference from right...WRONG.


WRONG was the only possibility.

The only word in which direction I could fathom or etch.


The wrong direction sends you to a place where up and down have no match.

That was the only right thing besides an expensive grave with your name on it.


I carved that last word, I didn't write it.
