Verse First ~ We Are Interconnected
Welcome to VERSE FIRST, where simple notions prompt amazing poems.
Today's notion?
WE ARE INTERCONNECTED
WE ARE INTERCONNECTED
Writer, poet and teacher Natalie Goldberg once said, "We are all interwoven and create each other's universes... We don't live for ourselves; we are all interconnected."
You affect me. I affect you. One action begets a series of reactions, which expand the web of connectedness. Every action is a pebble in the pond, every reaction a ripple. And so it goes. Consider the vast truth of this and write about it.

The seeds for these connections are sown in our past lives:)
ReplyDeleteWe definitely all ARE interconnected. I enjoyed this prompt, Kim.
ReplyDeleteI love the prompt Kim - we truly are connected by our craft and so grow through inspiration in our rich community
ReplyDeleteOh another great prompt, Kim! Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteYour prompts are always a little out of the ordinary in their direction - I like that
ReplyDeleteSo true... I write them from my perspective. I suppose I am a "little out of the ordinary in my direction". ;-)
DeleteSuch a beautiful prompt, Kim. Thanks a lot..:) I have not been writing much lately. ( no reason is valid for not writing,I understand)-- But, I would definitely like to write something for this literary community. ..
ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteI have returned from hand surgery and an extended holiday. I hope that life can proceed without too many obstacles for the rest of the year!!
Enjoyed this poetic connection:)

Thank you, Kim. I think I went with an easy, simple "inter-connection".
ReplyDeleteExtraordinary indeed, Kim. You took me into cosmology (?) with this one, or maybe science fiction which I had been thinking about earlier today.
ReplyDeleteExcellent prompt, Kim.

ReplyDeleteits been a while since the last time i visited here, i miss you guys :)
ReplyDeleteWe all share the same poet's heart. It's our interpretation that changes, giving us our individuality. But we never stray from this kinship! We are indeed interconnected!
ReplyDeletethanks for the great prompt......
ReplyDeletecame in late and well after quite some time but happy to have come in. Shared a draft of thoughts. wil catch all of you later!
ReplyDeleteBeen online intermittently for much of September due to some family challenges and I am back now. The draft poem I share reflects the somber yet hopeful thoughts that trickle out this month. Will visit everyone this week. Have a good weekend ahead.
ReplyDeleteI loved this prompt. I wrote a poem a long time ago and thought it fit the prompt.
ReplyDeleteHere I am Kim, with a small poem, as promised. Though I know I am quite late...but, had to write something on this beautiful prompt...Thank you.
