THE KISS
I hoped that he’d never love me,
And he’s never kissed my mouth,
But I’m not a stricken bird,
Unable to reach the south.
I know not if he loves me,
Tonight my heart is glad;
His kiss was oh so wonderful,
Beyond all the dreams I had.
~ Original poem written by Sarah Teasdale
Day 22 Poetic Asides Prompt: Judgement
NaPoWriMo Prompt: Take a poem and change it so it’s opposite of how the original author wrote it. Day19 April NaPoWriMo
We Write Poems who kindly guest hosts links
Sweet dreams.
LOL!
You did very well with this prompt. From having done it myself, I know it is not easy to write an ‘opposite’ poem that makes sense. You accomplished it.
Thanks, Mary.
Sweetly done! I had fun with that opposites one too!
Thank you!
This opposite is very cute. I will do that prompt, too. No matter it’s a bit belated, I had no time on the original day
It’s actually a lot of fun trying to keep it all strung together, retain the meter and rhythm, but change the meaning to the exact opposite. Fun, fun, fun!
Way to step up to the challenge! I love this.
Thank you very much!
