If you were a radio
I’d listen to you all day.
If you were a pair of shoes
I’d walk with you everywhere.
If you were a chocolate bar
I’d savour your sweetness forever.
If you were a pillow
I’d bury my face in your softness.
If you were the stars
I’d capture the whole night sky.
Here are some lines produced using this structure, from some of my poetry pals on Twitter:
If you were a cat
We’d get on purrfectly well. (Brian Moses)
If you were a camera
I’d find you wonderful scenes to capture
If you were a lawnmower
I’d give you beautiful grass to mow
If you were a china cup
I’d brew you tea as often as you wished
If you were a bed
I’d wish you the sweetest dreams (Val Harris)
If you were an umbrella
I’d sing to help it rain.
If you were a piano
We’d always live in harmony.
If you were the sun
I’d dance in your warmth. (Fiona Halliday)
