Fire
Purifies loved gold,
strongest metals bend, mold
licks life new or old.
Sparks fly catch on wood;
sparks in your eyes burn your heart–
fires rage in both.

This is my first-ever writing collaboration and the word ‘great’ will be an understatement. I enjoyed writing with you, Mel but more than that, I am so honored to have written a senryu series with the poetess that I look up to. 🙂
Thank you for letting me get ‘high’ on senryu with you.
