Poem

A collaborative poem, written in renga format, or "linked-verse", by Timothy Hicks and Jesse Whitehead.

Verses in normal font are by me.
Verses in italic are by Jesse Whitehead.



January jest
drawing mustaches
in the newspaper

coffee to warm the hands
walking the railroad

refusing
to stay put
a child's balloon

spring in her step
red moon overhead

has dusk come already?
the field of tulips
seem to say

unwavering and gentle
strong as stone

mountain peaks
wind through summer meadows
a tender caress

lying there still
a heart-shaped mark

steady rhythm
ebb of the tide
broken shells

spiraling earthward
the last golden leaf

fading in and out
memories sweetly touched
a dancing flame

burning through pages
another x on the calendar



NOTE: This was my first attempt at a Renga poem, written in collaboration, with one of my best friends from Idaho, Jesse Whitehead. He's one of the few friends of mine whom I could discuss writing with. Though he typically writes fiction and stories, rather than poetry, he was willing to give this poetry format a go; and to my knowledge this was his first time writing poetry. It's a fun little challenge that I hope you all will give a try!
