Finding common ground...

7/3/2018

By Gwen Plano

Each week poet Ronovan Hester sponsors a Haiku prompt challenge, and folks (like me) try to follow his lead. This week the two words are unite and chance. If you have interest in this poetic form, please click on his name, and you'll be guided to his website where you'll find detailed instructions.

We live in a time of great turmoil, and when I read the challenge words, I thought of John Lennon's Give Peace a Chance. The song and its hope motivated my poem. ♥

Thank you, John. I'm trying to learn this poetic form. Sometimes I'm more successful than other times. :)
