ReplyDeleteI love the combined line "Called uncertainty as truth". Such a creative effort, look forward to more. The script you use really enhances the poem with a very personal touch.
ReplyDeletedude...stellar form....love the call and repeat between the two of you...each could stand alone but together make so much more...
ReplyDeleteso cool - they could both stand alone and yet float seamlessly into one another...great collab...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and so well done! The two poems were like a dance. Each beautiful on its own but even more beautiful together.
ReplyDeleteLost my comment some how. Anyway, great conversation. Extremely unique and creative.
ReplyDeleteThat was fantastic. I read it from left to right going down, but am going to go back & re-read. I suspect you could also read each side individually.
ReplyDeleteYes, and again fabulous! As others have said, this is a fabulous collaboration & a delight to read. One of my favourite entries for One Stop this week. Thanks for visiting me, so I could enjoy such a wonderful piece.
