A Very Modern Cinderella (who Still Meets Her Prince)
in Creative Poems
No, no, no - I feel really low
I don't want to go to the ball.
My hair is a mess - I can't find a dress

About Ann D. Stevenson
Ann D. Stevenson only began writing after she retired, when she joined a Writing for Well-Being course. It was during a difficult time, as her husband had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. She found writing very therapeutic, more especially poetry. It was a real boost to her morale when Family Friend Poems began publishing her poems.
Ann was married for well over 50 years, but sadly is now widowed. However, she is lucky enough to have two happily married children and four grandchildren. She now lives in The Cotswolds in the UK. In the past, Ann has worked as a teacher, helped in a children’s home and spent some time as a PA.

Another lovely poem, James. I didn't know about swifts before and absolutely loved the poem's ending. Very best wishes, Ann.
I don't believe we can judge what a poet actually meant when he wrote a poem, we can only know for sure what the poem means to us. I definitely know that this poem means a great deal to me.
