ah, looks like you have asked another eternal question…short yet thoughtful.
tq rekha
A perfect question. Maybe the answer is they grip each other!
maybe cloaked, maybe..
I like poems with questions and your question says more than the obvious. What about us and the earth?
thanks seabell
oh, I like – nice thoughts

Which came first the chicken or the egg?

tq becca
real out of the box thinking and beautifully expressed. We need to question our assumptions, now more than ever. This is important as we are evolving at a rapid rate. This poem is a wonderful example of how we can just accept everything we have been taught until one day, someone (you, for example) say, “Yeah, but what if……” hugs, pat
thanks pat- yea i agree with what you say..
Some things are made for each other..good to remember what the earth welcomes! Beautifully done..
thanks lyn

Thank you for posting your link on my blog – what simple brilliance you present! Your paradox is rich and inspires so many other questions of the style.
I hope you don’t mind me posting a link but I wrote a poem on a similar notion at the beginning of the month that you might be interested in: http://andmilestogobeforeisleep-glh.blogspot.com/2011/04/paradoxical-purposes.html
not at all glh.. thanks for coming by!
Stunning, eternal question!
thanks honey
very cool poem.. and, ummm… I’m sure that I don’t know the answer to this. Are you trying to hurt my brain?? 😉
Seriously love how you pulled it together with the last lines. Very nice. Thanks.
thanks saman..
It makes you think…
Well written!
tq sara
Were you gripped by mirth,
Or did you grip mirth,
When the question you posed,
Was already supposed,
Now you’ve got me grinning,
Even though my head is spinning.
haha nice one dan!
I like this one…can’t help but ponder the notion. Stellar.
thanks david..
Well done.
thanks chris
That was deep !
thanks ina
which comes first…the ground, so the tree is in it…its roots spread underground..so i guess it be the tree..
lovely poem…
haha ok at least you analyse chim..
I love how this poem makes you stop to wonder about that. A mind could see it both ways.
thanks melissa

A well express puzzle. 🙂

tq shail
as a child i used to think about these things and argue with others “how can they prove that its the earth that pulls us and other things” 🙂
hoho ok..
