PAIRS
This month we want you to think about Pairs.
You might think of a pair of trousers, of lovebirds, handcuffs, cards, twins, or even matching tattoos. What does it make you think of? Write a poem about them.
What do the pair remind you of? Are they identical or different? Where did they come from? Where did they go? What are they thinking? Are they ordinary or extraordinary? Is one of the pair missing?
Let your imagination take over and see where it takes you.
