ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕝𝕝𝕖𝕟𝕘𝕖: Write a collaborative poem with one or more poets.

𝕎𝕙𝕪 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℙ𝕠𝕖𝕥𝕤ℙ𝕦𝕓?

The first collaborative poem I worked on can be found in Achievement Hunter Vol. 3 as published by @PoetsPub.

The poem is called "Why (NehpetsEnal and Friends) #18".

It's an acrostic poem, in which the first letter of every line creates a whole new word, or in this case, a whole new question.

The first letters of the poem spell out: "Why the Poets Pub?".

I was assigned the first letter P and wrote this:

Printed on pages or verbally told, they make you feel happy, peaceful or bold.

The second collaborative poem was written with Sohinigoswami.

It's called "Diverged thoughts" and is a free verse poem about a rabbit.

Sohinigoswami wrote the first stanza, I the second and so on.

ℙ𝕠𝕖𝕞:

I jumped off the cliff.
Hoping to die.
Found a big rabbit. I went stiff.
To my discouraging thoughts, I said goodbye.

The bunny took my hand on just a whim.
It took me to its rabbit land, hugged me tight and taught me to swim.

The hug was too tight.
It broke my midriff.
It gave me a fright
seeing the rabbit drive a white Swift.

The rabbit took me,
put me in its car.
It drove quite quickly,
over hills so far
to a building that was white as snow,
on which the letters "Hospital" did glow.

Called a little rabbit and said:
"Doctor! My friend is sick."
It put me to bed.
And cured me with its wand with a single flick.

It then brought me home
and softly kissed me goodbye.
"You no longer have to roam.
You've got me. Don't die."
