Say sorrow
Say love

Say pain
Say love

Say helpless fear
Say love.

Say your hand
held out:

the greatest blessing
the greatest gift.

Say love:
the only word

the first word
and the last.

Question: is this equally offensive if it's a reply poem, not an extension of your poem?

I ask because sometimes I do this, usually with haiku poets I interact with. Usually I tag those #CallAndResponse (also use for poems headed w/quotes)

If this is rude or intrusive, maybe I need to rethink.

sparkles
from the stars
linger
as your eyes
brighten
our cozy room

#CallAndResponse

stone heights enlightened—
amber larches arise
from cold alpine earth

autumn oaks desire entrance — acorn-children tap tap tap

Selena travels her path
midnight to midnight,
sometimes only Moon,
mirrored, light-bringer

sometimes Diana
running wild through
forested, branching minds
of the poets

those canny enough to
keep her secrets
may go moon-mad, but
still safe from her arrows

a gleaming bow
awaiting
both archer & arrow—
crescent moon

lovely... the words and the painting.

everything alive
is heading
toward
its own
unique
sunset
