In stones mind
the passing of time
is less than in ours,
he sees many changes
through sleepy eyes
and patience.

With a blanket
of soft water flowing
in his bed,
he sings...

Quietly and slowly
of many things...
many moons...
and many
loons

crying with
heartbreak bill
to echo across
even deeper pools
of nothing
still

so plausible that these thoughts could be stone's if stone could speak/think

Well done!!

There is some wonderfully awesome visuals and sounds in this one....were I deaf and blind, and one fingered this poem into my palm, I would be able to hear the hard coolness captured within....

Bravo...

water flowing and singing
wearing stone away

The babble of the brook flows softly through this piece.
GREAT imagery !

'With a blanket

he sings...

Quietly and slowly
of many things...'

Oh, how gently serene.

As smooth as the stones
Caressed with babble of brook
All things now come 'round

Thanks Marge... I appreciate the comments.

Smoothly worn by time
no jagged edges catch currents
stone softly sings you

Ron, I enjoyed the clever wording and imagery here. The lines that caught my eye for the potential subtle pun are:

the passing of time
is less than in ours,

where "ours" is substituted for "hours", giving more than twice the meaning, when pondered.

Thank you Mark, yes a subtle pun of sorts but one that was written playing on sounds more than on meaning... I appreciate the comments ou have left, always good to know what others think of the words you write...

As for minimalism..it is where I started writing poetry...I return to it over and over because I have always liked the essence of things, as opposed to the defined. I struggle to write longer poems or more in depth poems, which you do quite well. So... I find inspiration in words you write..that may lead me to try and capture an essence of one part... just a tiny piece of the whole picture you and others paint.

Thanks again for the comments!!!
