square image has a brick red background. white rectangular box (longer vertically) contains the following black text (donated words and contributor names are in bold): Begonias Most of the petals remained the skin of a cherry, unswerving all summer. Those months and their heat rose to humid heights of hateful expansion. The waxy leaves never wavered but bronzed themselves with or without water. Where there is no cooling, the plant still thrives, burning yellow dandelion fireworks at the center; a lesson in perseverance. K Weber Jenna Mia - cherry Patrick Whited - unswerving Erin Murray - expansion Ann-Lene Olivier - water Carla Marchal - perseverance

if this collab doesn’t come out on april 22 (8-yr anniversary of collab stuff) or even april 30… it’s still on the way & happening this yr. giving myself 3.5 weeks to pull this together after 1 month of tmj followed by 1 month of sciatica… is wild even by my own, weird (lack of) standards🩷

square image. background is a black and yellow version of a Google Docs draft of a poem overlaid many times in different directions. at center there is a rectangular white text box, longer horizontally, that has black text. text reads as follows: the 7th poem for THE DELICATE COLLIDE has been blossoming quickly! the first draft almost turned out like a final draft. will this remain in tercets? i just love the 9 donated words that landed in this poem and the fresh special feature that helped inform the content!💛

square image. background is a black and red version of a digital Notes app draft of a poem overlaid many times in different directions. at center there is a rectangular white text box, longer horizontally, that has black text. text reads as follows: poem 6’s draft is coming alive while coming apart. it has been a complicated day so it only makes sense for this draft to start off on a challenging, more complicated note. but in a good way. i’m not sure i’d feel human if i didn’t infuse some of my personal feelings of overwhelm, suffocation & deep grief into anything recently. in addition to the donated words, this poem is also being supported by a special feature that really set the mood for this draft!

the 6th poem of the collab, THE DELICATE COLLIDE, was influenced by the heaviness of this day.

square image. background is a tan/brown-tinted version of a digital Notes app draft of a poem overlaid many times in different directions. at center there is a rectangular white text box, longer horizontally, that has black text. text reads as follows: poem 4 of THE DELICATE COLLIDE is in progress. no handwriting today, but a decent draft happened in the Notes app. i didn’t have a lot of energy today so i focused on what i could develop on the page versus forcing things. this poem has more great donated words and a donated twist that’s so very tempting!

square image. background is a pink-tinted version of a hand-written draft of notes for a poem overlaid many times in different directions. at center there is a rectangular white text box, longer horizontally, that has black text. text reads as follows: the draft of the 3rd poem for THE DELICATE COLLIDE took a very unique shape when i worked on it today! while the 1st & 2nd poems had drafts that resembled fairly fleshed-out pieces, the 3rd became a whimsical list of to-dos… detailed notes for what i would like to see happen with certain donated words, the extra challenge and themes and wordplay i would love to craft. this poem has the largest amount of donated words. the special feature involves some very visual facets. all of the donated words poems, 8 in celebration of 8 years of collaborative writing, will be available as a free PDF. coming april 22nd! happy poetry month!🩷

white square image shows a digital book cover at center. left side has orderly strands of colorful beads placed horizontally. an off-kilter line divides the page top to bottom. erratic overlaid photos of a stash of beads is on the right. on the left side the title starts in a crisp, white font with THE DELICATE appearing neatly between bead strands but they are titled up slightly. a larger, black, angled text box is toward the bottom at center. the final word of the title, COLLIDE, is inside in a pinkish bold font.

dark purple square image has centered , white text that reads as follows: today i worked on some writing but mostly crafting. then crafting turned into cover art for the collab. after the last collab, someone asked if my layouts are professional/use fancy tools, etc. everything i do is in google docs & i basically know and arrange every pixel. it is painstaking sometimes but it’s what i do! i use free apps to create much of the cover art. this time i chose some photos from the colorful sun-catcher beaded art i made today. i juxtaposed the precious, orderly parts with a layered jumble of pics of my disorderly bead stash. this stuff makes me cross-eyed but i love having a cover completed before the writing is done. back to the challenge of these surprising poems tomorrow!!!🩷
