Likestarlings is a place for talking in poems. We pair poets with poets and they write a sequence of six new works by responding in turn to one another. Our palaver blog goes beyond poetry to discuss collaboration in theory and in practice. Please take a look, and feel free to add comments, opinions and suggestions here. Read poems here
 


Seasick and can’t swim

Thus we believe what we believe

Until we cease to believe it.

 

This conversation isn’t over yet.

 

I read a self help book

On living without regret.

That’s four hours I’ll never get back.

 

No lifeboat.

Only letting go.

 

One always steps up

From a sinking ship.
