Description
Done in poetry workshop. An exquisite corpse is when a person writes two lines and covers the top one so the next person can only see the bottom one, and the next person writes two more and continues. Sort of like poetry telephone. This is what I could decipher/remember:

"Spring at last
keeps its promises
to mend with justice
the force that withers
chains the desert oasis
after permafrost lets go
the flowers of happiness
choke you with its petals
a little *something*
spilling blood, rays of
dust illuminated by intrusive light
kiss the shade that winter missed
the senses
rain of Spring, *something*
the rage of Summer flings
a blaze of fire in May
that fades to a
defeated ember
in August
We taste regrets
of Summer's end
and forgotten promises."
