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.

I don’t think…..

I don’t think I actually like men

My friend turned to me and said

Muse

I don’t think you like men at all


I thiugh about it for weeks before the comment

And now it constantly occupies my head

And I don’t know how to answer the question


It was scary to come out once

And this was a huge fear

Of what if I am wrong


I don’t know if i like men


I know i came out as bi

And I was confident in that label

Or at least I pretended to be

Now I don’t actually know the real me


I wish I knew the answer

I wish I had a label

I wish it wasn’t hard


I don’t know if i am forcing myself To say I like men

Because I know i would prefer a woman

I don’t know what to do

And I don’t think I actually like men
