Mysteries of Life - a Collaboration With Chris Green

What a wonderful collaboration between two brilliant minds. Bravo A 7++ for each of you.... Maria

Yes, it's nice to have some mystery in life. Upon reading each stanza out loud, I pondered each individually. They all come together like paint on a blank canvas. Wonderfully done by two great minds :)

What a magnificent collaborative piece. It was a joy to see the vivid images, born from your unbridled imaginations, that you were cleverly painting all over the page:)

I love the imagery in this piece boys! I thought I'd be able to tell who wrote what! But no! You have really mingled together rather well! But I will say this, Duir! The 3rd stanza has you written all over it!

very absorbing progression of imagery building and building to its mysterious conclusion. Puzzles are the essence of poetry like a strong flavor that slowly fades as you taste and taste again.

First let me say I read a draft of a poem and it reminds me of this poem, I am not one to believe in divine destiny, or the unexplained, yet at times like this, I know I know nothing. All that being said, this poem is absolutely amazing, and a great collab, I love to see such great collaborations, it gives me hope in the human spirit!

A beautiful collaboration you two <3 I really enjoy seeing what you both create every day and this one, together, is wonderful!

Hi Darren, You and Chris have penned an excellent collaboration. I loved the last line! Great job by two amazing poets. A without a doubt seven: -) Alexis

Two of my fave. poets creating a painting and art withwords.How wonderful this is.How awesome you two are.

Wonderful boys...life's mysteries aren't black and white.

what.... no Darren. No offense at all. I hope I didn't offend you. I just meant the writing is exceptional and I am a better reader than writer thus I can spot poetry. Now I will meet you gladly and happily along the ocean blue. I'll be quiet now (lol)

I am serious Penguin. This entry is very explosive alive and expressive - it must be read that way with dramatics - I may not know how to write but I know how to read... PS I love the location. How grand is that. Very.

Alright now. I go away from the computer for several hours and what do I see. Allow me to tell you both. I feel passion. I read power. I see expression from two very talented poets whom I have the utmost respect and adore as poets and as men. In my estimation which means nothing, this entry is explosive. Without saying Darren and Chris this is an entry that must yes must be read out loud with emphasis dramatics power and pauses. Read back your execution and you will see. I have no more to say..... e x c e l l e n t - now when and where will the poetry reading take place....By the way hi to you both.

You guys created a masterpiece!! Loved it :)

I LOVE THIS POEM! The best of two fabulous poets like two great grapes making one spectacular wine, I drink it up! Order me a case! Seven and fave and congratulations on this perfect collaboration ;)
