Here’s a poem about loneliness. It describes a fleeting moment which truly happened, but its title is mere speculation.

The Widower

Now write a poem about it,
That image you’ll never forget:

The yellow tandem gliding past,
And the rider’s steadfast grimace;

His tired eyes, the naked saddle,
The ghost turning bereft pedals

                                          in thin air
