Wow! More than 450 comments are already posted to the sestina prompt. You guys are tough to shake or rattle. I promise the last two prompts of this month will be softballs compared to yesterday.

For today's prompt, I want you to title your poems "Never (blank)" with you filling in the blank with a word or phrase. Then, write a poem based off your title, which could be "Never look both ways when crossing the street" or "Never blush in public" or "Never ever" or "Never write a poem with the word never in the title." You get the idea, right?

Here's my attempt for the day:

"Never let them find you in love"

Reason: There's no upside
when everyone starts
kite high in a branch-filled

forest. There's no reason
behind love anyway:
Either you do or don't

believe. No questioning
someone's faith, not upon
this topic we call Love.

We either snag or get
snagged. We can hide our eyes,
count, shout "Ready or not,"

and hope we can be found.
