They met at 17
It was love at first sight.
They spent time together
In the day and the night.
They began to date
It was a perfect match
They were inseparable
When you saw one you saw the other
They were like one
Nothing could come between them
No problem was too big
No argument too heated
They were met for one another
They went to different colleges
But their relationship never strayed
Temptation was never too strong
Their relationship would never fade
They would talk every night or every other
Their love was too strong to be broken
No other person would do
They were meant to be together
They were the only each had ever knew
They married at 25
It was the beginning of their lives
Together for forever and a day
Nothing would come between them
They would never stray

Wow Stephen, This response is so different from others you have created! I'm curious what has "inspired" you to take this creative approach. Was there one poem, in particular, from our readings that prompted you to write this poem?
Your poem reminds me a bit of "Tally Stick," as both poems tell the story of a life-long love relationship. Also, both poems use everyday language rather than lofty words and ideas (such as in Browning's love poem).
My favorite part of the poem is when the line "But their relationship never strayed" changes into "They would never stray" in the end. This is such a powerful testament to the love shared. The first time the line comes up, it refers to the relationship, an abstract. In the end, though, "the relationship" becomes "they," the two lovers, which is much more intimate. Nicely done!
Thanks! I wasn't really inspired by any of the poems we read. That's why I wrote a poem, because I wasn't interested in writing about one of the poems we read. I just decided that since we read love poems, I would try writing one myself.
I hope you write more poems; you seem to be a natural!
