Put that thing away!
But I'm playing Pokemon!
Settle down and pray!...

Alone with your smile
in a warm spring eve, some flowers
open for moonlight

She stood, frozen in her
wedding dress; no one could tell
who was on her mind

Her clear silent lies
bid farewell to any love that
could have ever happened

There is a Poet, named Robert Dufresne,
I laugh at his Poetry until I'm insane
with Brick Townsend, he plays,
a collaborative game
But Bill Lipton's Horse is a pain....

The apple shall not place
blame on the tree, it was the shadow

I’m not collaborative…
my greatest strength
—my greatest weakness too

My words my own,
as others thoughts
—to them remain as true

Free, de genie
Philosophy
Rising Sun
Deserting Rain
Flying the fox.
Smash degenerate
Flying above me.
Trust him.
One, I say One.
No more of this suffering.
Tranctual System
I can't move
But I run....

Collaborative Poetry…
give me a break

Words borrowed or lent,
the Muse to abate

What’s not in your memory,
what’s not in your soul

Can never be bartered, rented
—or sold

Did you hear the one about the three poets that went walking in the woods?
They bumped into each other at the fork in the woods.
None of them knew which way to go.
(They should have all taken that path less taken I think)
So, they sat down together and wrote a long collaborative poem....

Productive, constructive, forever chasing down time?
Corruptive, destructive, forever wasting your time?

Seductive, demonstrative, forever crossing the line?
Apprehensive, collaborative, always walking behind?

Emotive, corrosive, always using someone else’s life?
Offensive, abusive, do you ever look yourself in the eyes?...

Scarlet setting sun surrendered serene silvery moon,
And bold beauteous blackness is bursting with blooms!
In wide wilder windswept spaces without ivied walls,
Perennial pleasures recur, as a perfumed night falls.
Yellow canaries still croon in collaborative chorus,
Long after a laudable late afternoon's honeyed plus,
As capricious catching colors charm evening for us!...

SATIE EKPHRASIS
Master of the avant-garde,
eccentric and extra peculiar.
This ‘velvet gentleman’ of
cordoroy suit and hat.Inspiration
of the provocative and artist 
hoaxs with the collaborative.
Erik’s gnossienne gymonpedie
genie of the pregnant pause.
‘as is moments’ stark…simple
without pretence…sounds…
..then…silence.

Listen to me recite this ekphrasis on youtube under my pen name ichthyschiro...

From now on
considering 
everything

I intend to continue to resist
criticizing any country
not my own

From now on
considering
everything 

I intend to continue to treat
others like I would like
to be treated

In the rising sun,
Coming down by the mountains,
Echoes the sirens of seas.
Teaming with all life
Were clouds of foul defilement
Shifting torrents to crimson...

Metal vessel floats,
Tainting with slow corruption;
Flora, fauna, disruption...

Hopeful sakura
With leaves falling, vanishing;
Whales sprawling from erosions.
Trying to forestall,
From corrosions nature squalls.
Dying, perishing pleura...

I’d rather have a boss than a bot;
They’re a collaborative mentor, 
bouncing ideas you both flourish;
Only humans can share a vision;

They’re a collaborative mentor;
Inhale what they’re teaching exhale;
Transformation shows inside your eyes;

Bouncing ideas you both flourish;
A computer lacks ambitious drive,
it won’t hook you up with a fist bump;

Only humans can share a vision,
lean into what makes us so unique;
The juice is all of us together....

Particularly peripatetic
penguins pursue pharmacological
possibilities perusing polar
predator proboscis predilections,
predominantly picking putrified,
phenobarbital-packed perch-piece puree
packings, provocatively presented.

I wish I could have gotten a rhyme in there as well,
but that's an alliterative Pleiades with 10-syllable lines.

It's also a near summary of the latest escapades over on
the collaborative limerick thread in forums...

You bring out my inner feel, although I am not sure who you are. Might it be a collaborative collage of power to heal this man of a thousand hearts, all broken? Romance has forever sunk its sappy soul motive teeth into my veins. Bleeding a poison for you to breathe in. don’t drink too much. It could possibly kill. There is a breathless gasp that my soul conjured a blanket from. Anti-venom holds me tight as I curl into dreams of cupids failed arrows.
You are the monster in my mind.

Favorite green silk robe
Lying in wait for him to come home
Dinner is ready
The door opens steady
Happy he’s finally home
*
Racing from the car to the door
As soon as my shoes hit the floor
My heart is capsizing 
Just now realizing
She’s more beautiful than ever before
*
We’ve finally found our way home
We’ll never again be alone
Embracing at last
Hearts racing fast
Every emotion within a single moan

A collaborative limerick by Rachel Egona and Julian Egona...
