First? Perhaps…
Write about your first crush. I’ve written about her previously and will provide a link to that poem below. As I was saying: first?

London Bridge Is Falling Down – Part 2
The Lamposts on London Bridge were created from the melted down cannons of Napoean Bonaparte. This bridge stood across the Thames from 1831 to 1967. It wasn’t really ‘falling down’, but due to modern traffic, it was sinking in the riverbed. Since the bridge opened at Lake Havasu, a so-called ‘English Village’ (read, tourist-trap) was…
