Run with it

It doesn't make sense,

and that adds to the fun.

I have had the pleasure of writing with two other poets.

Why doesn't it make sense?

We have never met.  

Live in different time zones.  

No real clue about the other.

But the words match.

I could see it if we worked at it.

Speaking for myself,

we seem to just carry on the conversation.

Is it groundbreaking?

Doubtful.

Can we do better?

Of course.

If we continue,

there is one thing which matters the most.

It has to sound like one person.

It has to feel like one person.

We can't do that constantly.

You have to play now and then.

Still,

when the chance arises,

you run with it.

Run as far as you can.

and i really like this...and see the analogy..two poets as one voice...sounding like one...

people in general have voices, and if all of us spoke as one...it would be a better, more tolerant world.

The fun part is it is three. I hadn't taken your view, but seeing it, yes, it would be a better place. If three strangers are able to find a common voice, imagine if more try.

Clever tortoise -- and run, we do -- honestly, with you, and Ana, it is effortless ... I have done many collabs, and you two are the only ones whose words just flow with mine without difficulty.

Before we pat ourselves on the back too much, you have to admit this is odd. The one you are getting ready to post took how long?

[Lyn Anderson]

between the three of us? Not even 20 min total. I know, it's weird.

[Jon Roggie]

Reminds me of jam sessions. There is an automatic "Wait try this", kind of thing going on.

We are a poetry band -- take that show on the road -- HIT IT!
