Hey there everyone.

I’m participating in NaPoWriMo 2020, if you aren’t following the NaPoWriMo website already then go check it out at www.napowrimo.net.

For today’s poem, I have picked a gorgeous little poem for my inspiration written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. You can read the lyrics to her poem below.

Read “My Heart and I” by Elizabeth Barrett Browning over at Poetry Foundation

Finally, here is my own romantic found poem, thank you for reading and good luck with all of your NaPoWriMo adventures throughout this month!

“A Friend We Feel in the World” by David Ellis

We sit and wish for more
The types of sweet life you see with books
In such colours, too straight, too true
A friend we feel in the world
Our fancies, uncurled, thrilled
Our tears are here, from the sky
To kiss, warm, quick
A sigh of happy gems
We look at heaven, in no doubt
We were loved, well enough
