The Beauty of Our Sky (in Collaboration with MatthewZ)
We rest upon a hill top high
To view the main event
Sheltered from the crowd below
By making this ascent
The cloudless sky above
A sweep of blackest night
We'll ring in hopeful New Year
With a spectacle of light
The sound of distant rockets
Herald the opening show
Pyrotechnic explosions
Soon set the night aglow
Looking up, we behold
The bursting, sizzling, sprays
Multitudes of sparkles
In spectacular arrays
Two hearts as one together
Beneath joyous coloured wheels
Like the fireworks all ‘round
How sublime this friendship feels
Let us each raise a glass
In a fitting toast, my friend
To you, me, DUP, and this
Awesome poem we’ve penned!

Yes, thank you Lillith!
Got to be honest, the beautiful Velvet was the major force of the poem, but I helped out a little.
Thank you so much, though.

If the New Year brings us more of your scintillating and preternaturally good penmanship, it will be a great one indeed!

Velvet,
When you first asked if we could collaborate, I was a wreck, because I'm really not that accomplished of a writer, but actually working with you was like being in heaven, working with an angel who was trying to make the world a more beautiful place. I loved it, and you, my friend. You're so talented, yet so down to earth, and nice.
I'd love to do that again(and next time I'll contribute more).
You're the best Velv.
Love,
Matthew.

Oh course Matthew, you know my struggles with trying to keep that damn cat in the bag, but our secret is that we don’t actually take ourselves too seriously. Should you ever reveal just how perfect you are it would frighten others off. Your gift is also a curse, but I understand. Love Velv

You're wonderful Velv! Silly, but wonderfully silly. Let's do this again soon please. It's a lovely dream for me.
Hugs,
Matthew.

These responses may become more inebriated as New Year’s Eve progresses, so apologies in advance. Have you ever been to Fiji?

Sadly not, but it looks like a beautiful place. Incredible marine life. Maybe one day I'll get a chance to holiday there 😊, do some snorkelling. Hope you have a fantastic time.
