Hmm I may just have to be a part of this. The idea is brilliant. I'll wait a bit though until there's a bit more variety to choose from. 
oh and feel free to browse through my poems as potential choices to spin into something of your own.

Oh, go on then, if anyone should so wish;
Needles.
I lie here
Faceless
Dick-length from your
perfect warmth
and it stings-
knowing what I'll do to you
The tar-thick scent of decay
already writhes between us
and it's only a matter of time
before my needles fuck through
your beautiful skin
like a thousand
bloated
pricks
desperate to spray your insides
with all my dirt and revulsion
I press my face hard against the
matted fuzz on your chest
knowing that I need to
let you go
I cannot even look at you
without feeling tumorous

Here is mine for a re-write:
Love Ebbs
The torrents have receded,
And the river is low.
The bankside reeds dry and brittle
Like yesterday’s plans.
What is left in the bed,
But hard stones, worn and tired?
Don’t wait for the rains,
They come unbidden and untamed.
There, behind the thorns
Of self-doubt and restlessness,
Are the springs.
Hold your heart out like a cup,
And fill it to the brim.
Drink, sweet one
And refresh yourself.

C'mon poets, we need more choice of ink...
