come join this feast!
bring broken souls,
rejoice before a table of treats
we’ll set a fire above stones
dance around it
with wild guilt
watch us twist & turn –
shaman beat their chests
children laugh with glee
night falls, the fire rises
the feast at its last course
time for the children to hide
as we carry on

Note: This is a collaborative poem I did with Rachel. I wrote a couple lines and then she wrote a couple lines. We plan to do more and share them – it was fun!
You guys did excellent! I had no idea this was a collaborative poem, it flowed so well I thought it was written by one person! Bravo.
I also loved these lines:
“rejoice before a table of treats
we’ll set a fire above stones…”
Alright, I’m down for that. 😀
Thanks, Lucy! I got the collaborative poem idea from your blog!
