Poetry Superhighway April 2023 Poems

Never Alone

Never alone love
Never alone dream girl
Never alone fate
Never alone PSH

From childhood hour
I was never alone

From a young age
I dreamt that I would meet
You

The lady of my dreams
I was never alone
From that day forward

I had you
In my heart

Then one day
You walked into my life
Became my wife

And I was never
Alone
Since that date
When I met my fate


This poetry writing prompt submitted by Ann Stevenson:
Try writing the opposite of a well-known poem, such as Wordsworth’s ‘I wandered lonely as a Cloud’ turning into ‘I marched along among the crowd’ – instead of a crowd of daffodils’ use ‘not a flower in sight’. Or Walter de la Mere’s ‘The listeners’ – have the house full of people. Or Yeats ‘when you are old’ change to ‘whilst you are young’. Just a thought…
