Poetry Partners #24
A poem by Madamchryzl of ‘Rhymes, Writings, and Confessions to Small Crimes’
My gift of words I submit to you...
Characters assembled depicting a phonetic view...
To you, I gift my words, though they may be few...

A magnetic Sijo by ben Alexander of ‘The Skeptic’s Kaddish’

you surprise like a barefoot kiss \\ tasting of peach martini our song a dance of light laughter \\ through rainbow flowers abloom today's shared positive vibrations \\ whisper... 'possibility'
Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)
Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!

“My gift of words…” is a warm, personal poem that is relatable to any creative writer. The Sijo is exquisitely beautiful. Together, they brightened my morning. Wonderful, David! ❤
❤ ❤ Cheryl ❤ ❤
See here. I had to break away to (shame on me!) google sijo. Then back for a third read. With each read, more of these brief love songs came through. Well done. poemeticists, well done!
Espie, thanks!
BTW, the word ‘sijo’ in my blog post is a link to information about the ‘sijo’ – I usually include links to explain the forms I’m using (especially if I’m not including any explanation within the blog posts themselves).
❤
David
As always, well done. Happy New Year.
