I musta thrown, A million Rocks, When I was young I had more time Than I needed So I threw it away The spinning flat stone Is a moment thrown The distance tossed Is a moment lost Toerag alone Is good at stones |

The title pulled me right in and I was not disappointed! Yet, there seems to be some remorse about the time spent. It's cliche, but time to smell the roses and time to skip rocks is surely all important. Isn't it 'soul-healing' time? Heart-mending time? I do so love this poem. It says volumes in so few words. Yes we must 'seize the day' but we dare not let the day seize us, do we? Goodness, I love this poem. May I make a copy for my favorites file? |

There's a wonderully deep message to this one, smooth and not eroded, I liked this one very much! "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."" Laurie Lee Kathleen |

Toerag - it's so good to see you back! I sense a bit of sadness too - this is different from your jovial ways - but I really like it! Speaks of memories. Speaks of time. The title drew me in, too! |

Ya know, Toe.. I could never get that stone-skipping thing right... I guess I was too busy doing other stuff... but I can't recall for the life of me what it was...  |

Amazing that we turn around and suddenly see that we have so many thrown rocks behind us and so few in front of us. Take each day as it comes with a sense of humor as you usually do, pick up that stone and toss it!! |
