STONES

Michael Edwards

 

 

 

As stones cast on water

the ripples grow gentler

the  wider they reach.

 

As stones laid on leather

the wrinkles grow deeper

the older they get.

    A true and fine write and pic Michael. There's too many evenings - 365 of them in a year. Doh!

    • Michael Edwards

      Was last night one of them?

      • orchidee

        Oh yes. Oohh there's one extra evening too, if it's a leap year! What's Miss Berles do in the evenings?

        as stones placed on scales
        tis those kilograms that tell tales

        oh' how the truth hurts...

          Don't they just and doesn't it.

          • Neville

          • orchidee

            Arrghh, another evening on the horizon - dreaded or welcome?!

              Sorting out paperwork on behalf of a client - invoices, letters of authenticity, copyright agreements - taking a break - it gets a bit boring - I just want to paint and write (poetry that is).

              HOT STONES placed on Back
              In MASSAGE THERAPY
              Eases muscle tension

                I must try it - plenty of large round stones in the garden.
