For this assignment I had to write a love poem using strange/harsh sounding words that are completely opposite of the light, fluffy, and happy language most love poems use.
It's easy to write a love poem
for you, because each day I am
haunted by your ghost and love
shrieks through the dead
of night, in dreams where my love
scratches its empty belly, burrows
into the earth searching
for you--
so it can sink its fangs in your throat
--not to drink your blood--
but to watch you bleed
and writhe, shrinking
like a slug on fire
from salt.
Love is like this sometimes.
I love you.

i think i like this assignment. makes you reverse your thinking a little bit.
and this...the last two lines made me smile. the irony of it. making love sound so...wrong, painful - and then saying 'i love you'
i loved it.
