In September 2011, I started a poetry thread on the Linkedin Group ~ TED: Ideas Worth Spreading in which I asked people to share poems or lines of poetry which had profound meaning for them. The thread has been weaving a wonderful tapestry over the months and has now reached almost 7,500 postings. For me, it has been a social bridge in many, many ways. As well as being introduced to lots of new poets and poems, I have ‘met’ with interesting and inspirational poetry lovers from all round the world.
One of these, Jenfred Sams, an art history student from America, recently presented us with a wonderful blog post in which she put together the words of Will Allen Dromgoole’s poem The Bridge Builder with artwork and quotations about bridges. I would love to share this jewel with you now and hope that you enjoy it as much as I have.
