This is the first of my poetic duets with the very talented Jaded. Hope you enjoy.
There’s distance between us
But I still will call you friend
There’s hurt in your words
I wish that I could mend
The care I have for you, my friend
Can cover every mile
My goal remains the same each day:
Just to make you smile
Across the miles so far away
I have something that I must say.
I met you unexpectedly
through virtual reality.
So sudden that it came to be
how dear a friend you are to me.
Insomnia won the bitter fight
I settled in that fateful night.
What to read
how will I decide?
A blog inviting
come inside.
Two brothers from my native state
and other stuph to which I could relate.
I read and commented
so nervous was I.
I never expected
one in word reply.
Tag?
Down you swooped on wings of red
You stand by maize and blue
If I can put up with that from family
I can put up with it from you too
Like.
(because apparently that’s something we do nowadays.)
Here’s an idea, how about a giant collaboration of tag team poetry. With as many people as we can gather? Different styles all smoothly blended into one art-cocktail.
Is that cool? Or stupid?
Honesty is appreciated.
It sounds like a cool idea, but it also sounds like a lot of work to get coordinated. So, if you want to be the one to do it, go for it. I’m game.
I’ll think of a way to let it go smoothly, here’s what I got so far:
First, promotion. We need to all promote it on our blogs in order to gather a lot of people.
Then we create a mailinglist, which can be published central somewhere.
Then one person starts with, let’s say; 4 lines and sends it to the next.
I’ll think it through further, I’ll get back to it here.
Just let us know. I think all of us here at Stuph Blog would be willing to play along.
Great team-up, folks!
Thanks. I’m hoping we can do a lot more together.
Me too!
Thanks!
An exceptional collaboration, between two people who obviously care a lot for each other. It’s something special to be able to share in your supportive relationship. A wonderful poem.
Revis has the talent. 😉
Thank you for the comment.
Nope, sorry, that’s MY thing, crediting others with the talent in a collaboration, and I get shouted at for doing it so you’re not allowed to 🙂
no one should credit all talent to the other 🙂 great writing!
Thanks. My dear Jaded is very talented.
