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.
Love's dark carnival
A heart, a ravaged, gilded cage,
Holds beauty born from shadowed rage.
A twisted rose, with thorns entwined,
A love that's fierce yet subtly unkind.
Pale moonbeams kiss a fractured face,
Where sorrow paints a haunting grace.
Each scar tells a story, a sign,
Of passions burned, a love divine.
Yet monstrous in its aching plea,
To bind two souls for eternity.
A grotesquerie, yet sweet and true,
A love that's distorted, just me and you.
