Image: Friends like Water finds
its Own Level (here)
no ill-will intended
harbouring good intentions
tactful and friendly not shrouded
in pretences of innocence
accepting 'likes' unsolicited
'friends' across the divide
grounds below thundered
with followers spread wide
ever wondered
the spectrum of honour
sustained by players
comprising of whatever vintage
or creed?

Lillian at d'Verse's Quadrille Monday
Wonderful poem Hank.....very thought provoking.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
This has me thinking....I've read it three times now. Somehow, don't know if you intended it this way...I'm reminded of cyber space with friends and likes coming from people sometimes a great distance away. And within that -- I'm thinking of our dVerse community....where many people from across the globe, of different backgrounds and ages and creeds, share their thoughts and ideas within their words...putting them onto a space where folks can "like" or not -- can freely comment. I've never thought of it this way....but that takes a great amount of trust to display our vulnerability in words. And it's so interesting as I feel I've gotten to know so many folks at dVerse through just their words. I've always thought it would be amazing if we picked a city somewhere in the world and had a dVerse gathering, an "open house" if you will, at a pub designated for the party. Wouldn't that be something? :)
ReplyDeleteVery interesting Lillian! It is bringing it to higher level above the normal happenings. The gathering is among strangers but yet among friends. It may even lead to a forum of sorts. Those with like interests may cause it to whirl around the globe at its own pace. The beauty is that responses and feedback is forthcoming at real time with postings through the blogs or FB It sure is something!
DeleteInteresting thoughts here, as I was reading, I too was thinking of the blogging community. We have connected through our thoughts and words.
DeleteWe now have friends that span the globe which is a good thing!
ReplyDeleteAll coming together and stretching far and wide.
ReplyDeleteIt is like a harbor in that even though we are all from places across the globe and many diverse ways of thought and life, we have a commonalty that makes the sharing of ourselves still have a sense of comfort and acceptance. the commonalty of course is our love for the weaving of words to express our musings.
ReplyDeleteThe power of social media can be a friendship or bridge between people. I feel this connection in the poetry groups.
