Poetry Challenge #34-I Have Never Ever…

Truth time.

I’ve done a lot of things in my life—a few I’m not proud of. Ahem….

There are many things I’ve never done. I’ve never pet a tiger although I had a stuffed one growing up.

Make it stand out

I’ve never eaten snails or octopus. I’ve never run a marathon . . .

or climbed a mountain over 3000 feet tall.

What about YOU?

We all have “I Have Nevers” if we didn’t there’d be no need for bucket lists.

Poetry Challenge #34

I Have Never _____________

Make a list of some things you’ve never done.

Try dividing your list into sections: things you’ve never done and never want to do, things you’d like to do but haven’t done yet, and things that seem impossible.

Write a poem using some of these. It could be a list poem or it could be about one of these things. Maybe it’s a wish poem of things you want to do.

Set the timer for 7 minutes.

Start writing!

Don’t think about it too much; just do it.
