one deep breath haiku: common ground


each breath moves the web
every string moves in concert
no strand stands alone

any two humans
if they're together enough
will find common ground

post note: this week's prompt at one deep breath haiku links to the web site for Community Bridge. It's heartening to me. Maybe for you, too.

lovely observations on the spider's web ...

Ahh, beautiful thoughts. The spider's web is such a work of art, yet each fine filament depends on the other for it's structure.

Well done!

Fabulous look at a web! Loved these.

The first one is so gentle and spirited! The second one is true, but the common ground may not be positive....in some cases.

There is common ground to be found in each of the droplets on that web.
I love the imagery and the poetry.
