A Thorn Between Two Roses Poem by David Harris

A Thorn Between Two Roses

Rating: 5.0


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

Great Idea Dave.A bit like the round we played at Stratford wher we each took continuation stanzas.That was fun but this is much more interesting and will look out for your work. All the best Dave, Sid.

Love the title, David. The two ladies are roses, for sure, but you are definitely not a thorn! ! A great idea to collaborate on a poem. I have read it and cannot find the seams.... a good team. Looking forward to the next. Love, Fran xxx
