Three Stones and a Dime


A greedy tyrant
Behold the rising sea comes
Beatiful sea shells

We came from ashes
Even the birds fly away
Beautiful white sand

There was a wise man
Everything washed away
Tears taste so bitter

He walked to thier graves
The wet sand clung to his feet
The smell of the sea

He looked all around
He threw three stones and a dime
Now he had nothing

Sometimes three stones and a dime is all we have.
I love your poetry.

a poet begets...

memories unkind
yet, no regrets.

juju, very much enyoy...

he threw insults....(the three stones) and the dime, wasn't very much in the way of complenting you...

and yes, as Sunshine says, no regrets...we love for a reason, we learn and grow, realizing in the end, it all had purpose....even the pain of it...mostly the pain...

it is a gift to be able to love like that.

Your title caught me--but I confess, the meaning escapes me. (Don't worry, I have the same problem too.)

enjoyed.

I really like your poem, especailly in haiku form. I don't know the whole meaning but I feel a sense of regret and maybe loneliness in my opinion.
