A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song. ~Maya Angelou

Every week (we're on our fifteenth!), TheRacket and I exchange creative works with each other. We then mull over the pieces, sometimes with instant purpose other times with a bit more difficulty, and display our creative response to the other's original work on Fridays. The name for this venture is obvious: Creativity Exchange. (Here's a post that has a gallery of past exchanges and other information regarding The Exchange.)

 

TheRacket's half is over here. Pay attention to his deft skill- as he transforms a mediocre sketch to fine and intentional brilliance.

 

And now for my half, (words by TheRacket):

 

[starlight lucidity]

fleece
clouds enshroud
a shiver moon

a mourning dove
coos warblesong

your mitten hand
gives mine a
squeeze

a bonfire cackles
