It's always fun to co-write with another person…
the outcome can be surprising, weird, fun, or very serious.
The piece below was co-written with a new friend of mine who has a similar style to mine…
I liked the result and thought I would share and encourage others to try this kind of creative exercise!
(Kelly:)
A crow looks sinister
Sculling across leaden skies
But the hidden song of a lark
Becomes a pleasant surprise.
(Kathryn:)
Late winter fields lay barren
No hint of life discerned
Buried beneath the frozen soil
Awaiting the sun's return
(Kelly:)
The hurts long remembered
That consumed me oh, so much
Dissolve away in a moment
From just my lover's touch
(Kathryn:)
Just like the leaves in springtime
Awakened and newfound
Two souls begin their life again
Love sprouts from fallow ground
