In My Deepest Fantasy I Find a Writing Partner

My fantasy is to find a writing partner The fantasy allows for a man or a woman But you like short poetry (not too long) You like free verse more than rhyme, But you’re up for the challenge of a villanelle My fantasy is to have a writing partner Who connects with nature deeply My partner has stories about birds and spiders My partner loves geese at the park, Deer in the field, Bison at the gate, And my deepest desire in my fantasy would be That my writing partner wouldn’t dare eat animals I have a fantasy that soon One day, somehow, I find a writing partner Maybe old, maybe young, maybe man, maybe woman Who writes short, earthy poems, Not silly ones, No, not silly ones, even though we will laugh And we will cry, and both of us are the best of listeners. I can’t wait to hear your latest poem. Sit here on my small couch in my kitchen, Meet me in Google Meets and let's have a virtual writing den. I’ve missed you since last week. What did you write about? Yes, you go first.
