Here is the finished shared poem whose first three lines are my adaptation of a Lewis Carroll quotation. The final five lines and the title are also mine.
I am very grateful to my fellow contributors whose names follow their words below. Click on each to view their thoughtful and interesting sites, well worth a visit!
Hanging By A Thread
Each life bears upon
Or else ought to bear upon
The lives of others
Symbiosis of the web
A spider spins intricate
In shoots of fine silk
Like the pearl net of Indra
Interconnected Christine Valentor
Connections breed fair patterns
Of symmetry and fractals
All bound together
Universal complexities
Nature can breed life dave ply
Sun, moon and seas sing in tune
A chorus to greet each dawn
Falling on the earth
Within white flesh, five ripe seeds
The fragrant orchard cathum
Arachne weaves worldwide webs
Eight wise fingers feel the pulse
High wire artist
Show how to nurture nature
Help us spin it out
Love this! The collaboration came together beautifully. Sometimes they feel disjointed…
This one was spun together like a web.
