What an aahhmaaazzing collaboration!! Such a unique poem this is!! Really lovely!! It was like reading 3 different poems in one - the red alone, the black alone, and red-with-black in conjunct! TOOO GOOD!!
Kudos to the both of you on such a fabulous duet!!
I just read each side 5 times. This is amazing!!!!! I love when artists work together because just like everything else in life with the right partner magic happens. That was so beautiful! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!
I 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.
That 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.
Yes, 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.
a fabulous collaboration... much depth, tenderness yet power bursting from the lines.
