This duet is a bit different. meticulousmick is an amazing photographer and so we used one of his pictures to write this duet. Last time he took the picture and I wrote the poetry but this time he also wrote with me. I love love love how this turned out and I hope you do too. Visit is website for his amazing photography!!! For this one I wrote all my stanza’s and then he wrote all of his in between mine. I think it is brilliant…he is brilliant.
Written by meticulousmick and HastyWords
The words, a bold script
Written perfectly, carefully
Took a leisurely scroll
Across the perfumed page
The words all familiar
written a thousand times
Repeated and repeated
Ringing inside her head
The clock ticked behind glass
As the hand moved swift
This was the last time, only time
Left to preface all of this
Pendulum swinging back and forth
The balance about to shift
No turning back now
Time to end the hurt
The words, one couldn’t say
Written honestly, heroically
Took time being conveyed
Across the tear stained page
Smudged ink on the page
A bruise on her torso
Each word that flowed
A release, an outlet
Ticking each tick with a tock
Outlining a life of simple regret
In an elegant sweeping font
Speaking of a love getting lost
Time to move on out
Time for love once more
The most important love
Love for her self

Again, a magnificent piece that you have created with another blogger. I had not seen Meticulous Mick before.

This is perhaps one of my favorite of your duets hasty. I think you two work well together and what an amazing photo to work from! 🙂

this is an incredible piece – i particularly love the message. Pendulums are quite an interesting item – sometimes they are constant, never changing just moving back and forth. Then there are those that lower bit by bit and eventually slice whatever it is below – in essence making a break, starting anew. I really do enjoy this poem:)

I saw his reblogged on Belinda’s blog and noticed that you have done duets with other writers. I love the collaboration and your writing hits right between the eyes. I didn’t know that MM was a writer. I have seen his photography but this is a wonderful surprise. 🙂 Have a super weekend!
