Learning Self (Free verse) by nentwined
meaning begins with self for that is. a seed in the void -- learning the self leads to others, lines turn to webs; learning others leads to self, seed turns to flower; websoil conducts being, meaning is in the entangled souls.

I like how the repetition of words mirrors the imagery of the poem-- and it's a neat summary of the social dynamic of the internet, as well. Nicely written!
