Talking to a friend last night, <br />they were saying how <br />inspiration had deserted them. <br />I suggested several methods <br />of how to get it back. <br />Most of them they had tried, <br />but with no avail. <br />Then I suggested collaboration. <br />They were not to sure about that. <br />We write in different styles <br />came the reply. <br />Therefore, what I said <br />we could only give it a try. <br />Reluctantly she agreed. <br />I dug out a few miss tries <br />and sent them through. <br />In the meantime, <br />I was talking to another friend of ours. <br />Told her about the collaboration <br />and she asked if she could join in too. <br />Of course, I said <br />I was only too happy <br />to have her on board. <br />So the three of us set about to work. <br />JoAnn, Meggie and me. <br />And today our first poem was born. <br />No title yet, <br />but it has been posted <br />for the world tom see. <br />Under the name <br />JoJo Bean, Dodgy Dave & Meggie Gultiano. <br />A thorn between two roses. <br />The poem is seamless <br />and is difficult to see <br />where one poet finishes <br />and another poets starts. <br />This is our first collaboration <br />and by no means our last. <br />Each of us has enjoyed doing it <br />and is looking forward to the next. <br /> <br /> <br />6 January 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-thorn-between-two-roses/
