For today’s prompt, write an alone poem. Some people covet “alone time.” Others prefer not to be left alone. Many like a certain balance. But this doesn’t have to just be about people. Maybe a forest wishes to be left alone, or there is a product left alone on a store shelf (how the children’s story “Corduroy” begins).

- ALONE AGAIN and ENOLA
- by John Yeo
A is the beginning of A life now you are Alone.
L is the Loss of a partner and a very good friend.
O is Overpowering, unwanted on your Own.
N is having No-one there Never again to care.
E begins the End of a life shared and built for two.
Then?
E begins the Excitement of a new beginning.
N is Never feeling solitary. Not needed anymore.
O is the Opportunity to build a new life again.
L is Love and Lots of sharing, a Life made for two.
A begins the Afterlife with Acceptance by a friend.
Enola turns the terror of being Alone
Upside down!
