We/Them

You and I together as one
Ice cream and cone

Pronouns they/them
Me and you a team

I start a sentence
And you support my stance

You love me and I love you
The sugar to sweeten my yuzu

We even think the same
There for each other time after time

My love, heaven sent
Even in darkness you’d be my light

This is for a dVerse prompt: we are writing in two lines stanzas as rhyming couplets thus:

Poetry Rules:

Write at least 12 lines of poetry in couplets
separate the poem into couplets of 2 line stanzas
the couplets must rhyme but only using half or para rhymes [see examples below]

Poetry Options:

write about a specific or imaginary couple written from the perspective of they or we
or choose the notion of two as a topic

I hope you enjoy! 😊

This is actually me second attempt at the prompt. I wrote Hey April! before reading the second part of the Poetry Options. So there’s a bonus poem here: https://theauthorstew.ca/2026/03/06/hey-april/ !

    1. Thanks Laura. It didn’t flow as well as I would have liked for this one. My previous one for the prompt, Hey April, flowed a bit better writing it but probably reads more disjointed. Glad you enjoyed! 😊
