no more battles, for one shared future
over this blooming hillsideflows with fragrant, flowering
gusts of color~ petals of promise

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)

  9. This is an effective coupling of two beautiful individual poems. The end result is gorgeous. Cleave poems are really interesting and a unique way to collaborate. Incredibly well done to you both! 🙂
