Pretty Pebbles
Pretty stones near the river's edge
lying where put by the currents
There's purple reds and pearly greens
Azure blue one tortoise shell white
Small heart shaped snitch it for the sweet
When they're wet they're glistening pearls
though when they're dry they're sandpaper
Giant green stone like jade it looks
Gem for sure polish it at home
Will they come looking, foreign jail

- Margaret displayed photos of various art pieces, Alcohol Inks, that were on display at Boone, N.C. I chose the top picture, by "Anderson" of pretty pebbles at the water's edge for writing ideas.

I love picking up shells and stones - but only end up bringing home a few. Had a perfect sand dollar the last time we went. That made it home :) All the colors and shapes and yes, from pearl to sandpaper.
ReplyDeleteLove to search for stones and shells. I have brought several home.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely, Jim. I always bring way too many home.
ReplyDeleteAn ekphrastic, concrete image capture, Jim! I love the colours in the first stanza, the ‘Small heart shaped snitch it for the sweet’, and the contrast of wet and dry pebbles in the second stanza.
