Collaborations

 

 

 

Collaborations

 

When two pens come to meet

born of different places,

blending in ink of a free flow design

Curved on the corners

in destinies calling,

fate intercedes in the blink of an eye

 

Channeling thoughts

over miles of asphalt,

heartstrings are tied in a double bow knot

Digging through memories

once left for nothing,

built on the dreams that we soon had forgot

 

Ideas are spun

of a dual inspiration,

beauty unfolds like a fresh springtime bloom

Filling these faces

with smiles of mornings,

harmonic whispers now set to the tune

 

Poetic dreams

in a vibrant perspective,

touching a heart with these words ever sweet

Stanza’d collections

of eternal wishes,

found on the page when two pens come to meet

Thank you for reading

I have read some amazing collaborations on this and other poetry sites. I have difficulty writing a collab though. It is as though the poem is my baby and if the other poet allows my baby to walk before she is ready, it bothers me! :) It is wonderful when the two pens blend their ink to create a seamless poem though. This is well written with lovely imagery. Lydi**

Thanks so much Lydi. I appreciate your kindness. Collabs to me are fun at times. I love seeing what the other poet pens in reference to what I have written and I love being inspired by another.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

A very academic piece really that one can read over and over and come out of it differently, well done.

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much Thomas.

[MsJewel]

A creative and clever poem Jack. Collaborations can be wonderful if the words blend well.

Julie, I have read many by you and Trace, seamless and beautiful compositions, so you know how much fun and enlightening these things can be. Thank you so very much for your kindness.

Ive never done a collaboration so I'm sort of a wallflower at a couples only dance. I guess sometimes two writers are meant to combine their talents...and the resulting artistry is inevitable. Good poem Jack.

[Jack...]

Thanks so very much my sweet friend. I do remember from the past the Friday night Acrostic challenges and that kind of thing and in a way, they were collabs as well.

Sami said it all for me . What's your secret Jack ? Is it in the food is it in the water or is it in the air ? You are good. Never ran out of good idea.

[Jack...]

It is the friendships I have made here Neil. Each and every one of you inspire me every day. Thank you so much.

[Baby Ricochet]

Such beautiful musings about the art of poetry. Is that what I write?

[Jack...]

Yep my friend, that is what you write and very well I might add. Thanks so much.

[B-poet]

A fantastic & clever write. Loved the eloquence all throughtout this piece. Great work Jack. A marvelous masterpiece in the making. :)

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much my friend. I appreciate the kind words.

It's wonderful when you find another creative person with whom you can something unique and new for each of you. It is fabulous when two poets' style mesh so well you cannot tell where one ends and the other begins. I think your poem touches on this magic quite well.

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much Anne. Still missing my collaboration partner, but hopefully someday we can click pens again.

It's a magical thing when two writers come together in a collaborative union to create one stellar piece of writing, composed of two minds. I've done this before and it truly is a beautiful experience. For one, no two writers would do this if they didn't feel a connection on some spiritual level. At least, I can say this of poets.

The only thing that would have made this better is if it were truly a collaboration between two poets.

[Jack...]

Thank you so much.

Yes, I thought about that as I wrote it, but at the time I couldn't find anyone willing.

I have written many on this site with some wonderfully gifted poets and have enjoyed every minute of it.

If you would like to add to this one, please feel free.
