Small stones

Small Stones: Fiona Robyn's courses

I have written about Fiona's courses before and I have just signed up for another. Since april I have been enjoying the practice of writing "small stones" - small snippets of observational poetry, which can be left unpolished or edited and polished as much as you like. More on the courses here: www.writingourwayhome.com

Here are two "small stones" from my collection:

Morning mist bestows magical remnants
Even at mid day diamonds are dancing on iris leaves
and the web of a spider with captured mist glints like a silken net.
 
Early morning beach
millions, multitudes of
small stones.

Some polished, some pitted,
some rolling in the surf.
Glistening multi-coloured
with stories to be told.


The section above is an extract from my August newsletter which will be posted here soon.


Here are two more small stones: 

Equinox

Today we walked on the bed of the sea amid 

anemones and mussels tightly waiting.
