Some little known or maybe, by now, greatly known facts about Paul Revere might just surprise you. And who wrote the famous poem about Paul Revere? Henry Wadsworth Longfellow If you go to that link you can read his poem about Paul Revere.

For today’s prompt let’s try a history poem. It could be about an important to you time in history, it could be about what we would say about these current days if these days were history, it could even be fake history such as creating your own version of history. It can be anything you wish it to be. I have ideas and just not sure which will land on these pages today.

Let’s get at it! Please be sure to share 🙂

The Best Version

Looking within me
You are the best version of love
The one who sees within
Mirroring to me what you see
And as it goes
What I do
What I see
Is the best version of myself
As if I allowed myself
To be what your love sees
And with this
I can love myself
Free to be the best version of me

Today’s Prompt was to write a mirror poem. This was my response.
