I wrote another poem a few days ago inspired by this regimen. The exercise was to listen to a recording of a favorite song and write about what’s going on in the song. I chose “You Light Up My Life.” It was one of my favorite songs when I was in high school in the seventies. I sang it at a local talent contest, accompanying myself on the piano and won second place. I already knew the words.
I wrote a poem about a woman who was alone in the dark until that special someone came to light up her life. I was once that woman and didn’t realize it until Bill came along. Although caring for him is a lot of work, I’m so glad to have him in my life.

I wrote another poem as a result of this regimen. The exercise was to write a poem in which the first ten lines are lies and the eleventh is a truth. Either one of the lies or the truth could be expanded upon. The tenth line of my poem says that I drive, and I immediately followed that with a few lines contradicting that and describing my visual impairment and ending on a positive note.
