(A Collaboration)

land-locked girl, her bare feet
digging gingerly into
the sorrel pony as
it leaps through buffalo grass,

shoulder-high and wind-blown,
the way it's mane and her hair flow,
singed by prairie sun-

free to be, ranging boundless
through the prairie endless

climbing, reaching for the clouds
that updraft towards stars unseen
against a brilliant sea of blue,

no bridle, no bit -
you would have none of it!


the ethereal zeal of your voice
embellishes the evening star
that i race to,

the eager wings of my pegasus
beating past illusory boundaries
to orbit your presence,

drawn in by the gravitational pull
of a guardian, an older sister.

your words are an afterglow
that brightens my vistas
and outshines the past

so i never have to look back
as i head for true north.
A wonderful opportunity at last that we've both been waiting for for quite some time...

Kera !pixieplay and I have done our first collaborative poem, and it was inspired from our first conversation on IM!

The first part in italics is by me, the part that follows is by Kera.

Share your thoughts of our efforts with us, she and I would love to know what you think.

:bulletorange:6/5/10: The collaboration was featured with a Daily Deviation by our lit GM Trevor `GaioumonBatou here! (update: I'm sorry, the link doesn't work anymore because Kera took down that account)

the vibrancy you two create here is infectious.

shoulder-high and wind-blown,
the way it's mane and her hair flow,
singed by prairie sun-


my favorite part. :heart:
