"A collaboration poem" Oh, to be a poet like me To be a muse, inspire, kindle someone's pen To be the one they come to for help and encouragement To be connected always by heart, soul and spirit Oh, artist paint me beautiful To be a sublime exquisite dream To be that divine creation that inspires your path Oh, could you write of me writer To be the one to embolden words To let words of me bleed from your pen on white These wild thoughts are but my fantasy Why would a poet or writer need me? Why would a glorious artist need me? But, I yearn for love of poet, artist and writer To be lover and friend, and source of joyfulness I would always exist in poems and in art ! I would be that forever eternal! I'm the sparkle they love. And now the world has a crush on me! When the young woman awoke; she knew she'd dreamed of the art gallery, where she studied statues of marble or bronze, viewed canvas after canvas of water colour or oil, and her dream lured her back to the library, with the books she loved to look at, to read and absorb rhymes and paeans. She longed for those places of culture and learning, where her spirit always soared, her heart and mind heady, intoxicated, enchanted, enthralled with the wondrous words she read, and painted or sculpted shapes she saw.

Sadly friends I had to adjust my poem and remove my collaborator Sarah's part of the poem as all her poetry has been deleted from PS, so, I am alone now in this and my poem is not a collaboration. BUT, another poet has come to my rescue and agreed to be my partner, so all is well. Constance
