As attached to an invisible thread
we are bound to all humanity.
Through this communion we are wed
to a common sense of sanity.
.
When round about our strings combine
care should be enlisted.
For as with any rope or twine
our threads are easily twisted.
.
The unravelling reel, the looping lash,
beware the rope that's rotted.
The curling cord, the whirling sash,
are never far from knotted.
.
This string is neither noose nor tether,
it's the thing that holds us all together.

A first impression has a lasting effect - it makes a notable difference. In a subtle way that’s who I am as a poet. A ‘first impression’ looking for the gentle ‘twist’ that draws attention to a novel observation.
