Verse First~We are Interconnected

Verse First ~ We Are Interconnected


Welcome to VERSE FIRST, where simple notions prompt amazing poems.
Today's notion?

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.

After posting your poem on your site, link here. Please post only original work that speaks to the prompt; and then honor the Poets United spirit of community by visiting and commenting on others' contributions.

    1. So true... I write them from my perspective. I suppose I am a "little out of the ordinary in my direction". ;-)

  8. Thank you, Kim. I think I went with an easy, simple "inter-connection".

  9. Extraordinary indeed, Kim. You took me into cosmology (?) with this one, or maybe science fiction which I had been thinking about earlier today.

  14. We 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!

  16. Been 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.
