.....mon thread........outstanding write......thank u, dear poetess......anjandev roy.
Rini- - Thank you, Rini! ! ! It is a blessing, is it not? It amazes me how we form so many friendships who are created with different materials, different missions, so diverse and complex
A short poem with a big question mark, but I can say first of all a common thread Maybe is you, as they gathered around you Thanks for this great work it worth 10/10 and goes into my favorite list..All the best always
Can't fool you! ! ! It is odd when I thought about my various friends- -how the came from different areas of interest- -but they did have one quality in common- -they had an interest! Thank you for the 10! ! ! ! !
if I put my friends in one room would they ever find their common thread......impressive lines with nice theme. A great philosophical poem so nicely executed. My pleasure reading time and again. . .
Susan, I once took a workshop in which an university professor of mine espoused the common thread theory. She made us do an exercise to connect all the dots in our lives. From jobs to friends. No matter how vastly different each job had been, they all lead to our current job. The same applied to friends. There were no coincidences. It was all meant to be. Thank you, friend for refreshing my memory with this absoulutely astounding poem!
I am glad this poem reminded you of a pleasant time in your life and the exploration your youthful mind enjoyed in that workshop. I wish I could have been an eternal student! ! ! Next to the rodeo years the college years were so full of life and I miss those years. Thank you Richard for the read and the huge compliment!
It is a well positioned introspective analysis, we all meet different people in our lives, some reflect us, but many diverge in temperament, look at face book, we have so many contacts and yet if we put a hundred of those people, with different backgrounds and personalities, it would either be a melting pot, or a tapestry of united souls. Well put Susan.
It opens my mind up to realize the diversity of people that I can pal around with in the different arenas of my life- -horses. church, writers, and the lovely ocean called Facebook- -I find myself drawn to people who love to cook [I burn everything], people who discuss politics [those who discuss and not yell] and just plain people who have a sense of humor or a love of swimming or a love of walking or working with children. Viva la difference! ! ! !
Such a simple but substantive submission that causes on to think about the diversity of friendship. You are the common tread Susan. We are your friends not because we know each other but because we know you. Well done my friend!
It so amazes me that through the internet we make friendships with people based on their words- both in conversation and in creative writing. For instance, I am amazed at how lovely people are who don't ride horses or motorcycles. hehehehe Thank you for your supportive comments!
if I put my friends in one room......then what would be happened? ...... an insightful presentation astutely done. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Kumarmani. Sometimes I look at the list of my friends in my phone book and have to laugh- -it is such a joy to have so many absolutely different personalities and interests in my pool of friends
That or they will think they wandered into the wrong room after finding they have no or very little in common with each other on the surface- if they stay they will find they each have good souls!
Only in unity will they succeed! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
I kind of love this micro-poem....it rings so true to me....reminds me of a party where you invite friends from different parts of your life...all these people you love and you want to see if they will get along, find commonality...beyond their common thread...you.
Exactly, Jette. We human beings have many facets of character and interests to us- -we befriend many of our friends because of a shared interest or passion.... sometimes though I connect to a person I have no commonality of interest, personality, or life history and could not tell you why I am so drawn to the person so if I throw all these people together would they stand there staring awkwardly at each other? ? ? Or would they connect?
I have such a delightful mixed bag of friends who so enrich my life but what would the cowboy have in common with the NASA scientist and what would be talk about with the homebody Mom and etc- -love them all
if I put my friends in one room would they ever find their common thread An intelligent and tricky question. But difficult to answer! ! ! .
A beautiful senryu composed wisely and cleverly. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for reading and commenting- I value your time spent doing so! ! And of course what writer would turn down words like wisely and cleverly! ! !
Your poem had me thinking about how how diverse friends can appear to be. Long ago I invited two very different friends to a dinner party after some careful thought to the guest list and seating arrangements. I had hoped that they wouldn't clash and that if they did our other mutual friends would lessen the impact. As it turned out they were inseparable and had so much in common. To this day they are very close.
Isn't that a delightful thing to happen? ? ! ! It makes one think that our friends have something in common that would attract them to each other as well as to you. But not always. Sometimes they would struggle to find a conversation beyond that of the weather. Friendships! ! ! They are a bouquet of many different shades and types. What a blessing! ! !
A very clever question, Susan! Though individual traits differ from person to person, your friends will have something in common that makes them dear to you. Being in one room, they might also identify that trait! A beautiful senryu which makes one ponder deep!
It does make a person ponder, doesn't it? We look at our friends and discover they have different interests, different personalities, different ages, different backgrounds, and different futures.... and we love 'em all like sisters! ! !
You have got one of the most loving personality dear Susan Williams.How can you put your fiends in one room when you have them in your immediate neighborhood to far flung places? Yes, friends can find the common thread, be it a small room or the big big world.This puzzle made me wonder for an answer.
Bharati! You have to be the sweetest person- - I am pleased to call you friend because you have the ability to make a far flung place feel as close as my immediate neighborhood as far as the life of the inner soul goes. My friends in that room would fall for you even w/o figuring out we're friends because they all like good people.
Susan, i have NO doubt that we would! ! ! ! Good to see your words once again!
Theo, I think you're right! ! ! ! ! ! After all, we gots swagger! ! ! I enjoy your comments and I enjoy your poems... lady, you have a lot of poems.... dang but you have a lot of poems.......
