Here's one I found with a title:
Coward by R. A. Ammons
Bravery runs in my family.
I liked that one for the irony.
With mine it would be fairly easy to pull in the title simply: Parenthood is heroin in a dirty needle. When I did this the first time I did a two line poem with a line break on heroin to make it seem like Parenthood is bliss only to take it away on the following line. That's probably still the way I would write that poem. I'll give your juxtaposing idea a shot once I give it some more thought. I like minimalist forms so either way it should be fun.
