Write a poem about what streetlights make you think of.

I Met Prince Charming At The Bar

I met Prince Charming at the bar,

there’s not much more to say.

It’s rare for me to open up,

but I let him lead the way.


Was dancing with an old best friend

and singing for lost time.

He caught my eye from ‘cross the room,

his smile lit the sky.


He shared his name, then lent his hand

and spun me ‘cross the floor.

He said my laugh was beautiful,

he’d like to hear it more.


A gentleman, the softest touch,

a whisper in my ear.

He asked if we could step aside,

somewhere to better hear.


I don’t go out to parties much,

still learning what to do.

But I let him hold my hand once more,

and lead me somewhere new.


He introduced himself again

and told me ‘bout his dream.

He hopes to teach kids history,

be who he’s meant to be.


I told him I’m from out of town,

still trying to find my place.

He asked if I believe in love,

my answer’s one big haze…


But I know I met him at the bar, 
Prince Charming to this day.
I paused a beat too long, unsure,

and watched him walk away…
