sea change

Thoughts inspired by the process of collaborating with Poetic Justice on another piece.

Sea Change

Feeling up tight, went out for a run
Hurricane winds, it's gonna be fun
Finding it tough, I jog down to the sea
Nothing quite like it to set your mind free

Having a blast, in the teeth of a gale
Suddenly think of the girl in the veil
What can I send her to make her feel proud?
Poetic perfection, with meter endowed

When collaborating, that's always the plan
Especially with someone of whom you're a fan
But when faced by PJ I'm feeling quite frail
Who knows what great trials will arrive by email?

Striding along to a powerful beat
It's her inspiration driving my feet
Enjoying the spongey feel of the sand
Words fly round my head, completely unplanned

Missing the red flags, my feet started sinking
This collaboration idea, what was I thinking?
Just know from experience the ultimate test
If you want to get better, you must work with the best

What a great ode to a mentor who must greatly inspire.

I like this thought process. I've never collaborated with anyone on poetry. Truthfully, no one even is aware that I write. It does sound fun though!

I generally ask someone else to have a look at it.
I like the way the rhythm jogged along.
Work withthe best, yes, as long as they share.

Seems every day a new challenge awaits me.
Choosing one, well that is pure luxury.
You have tangoed with poetic justice,
now you have danced with pride and joy.

Easily overwhelmed for short time,
then I feed myself with the possibilities...
take a deep breath and leap.
