Welcome.......

Welcome to my 'small stone' blog.
I hope you find
something here that will touch your heart. The poems here will all be very short, some will be a Haiku style, and were prompted by the 'a river of stones' project: http://ariverofstones.blogspot.com/2011/01/what-is-small-stone.html

24. Easter Island at Lindisfarne ?



Wooden monoliths;
their larch lapped facades
peek from the soil
to glimpse a greener vista.
Turning their backs
on seafaring
they store landlubbered
memories
and tools for a journey
they will never take.
Rain whipping in the wind,
flagellant upon their keels,
raps staccato morse messages
unintelligible Babel rantings
in the winter storms.
Their underbellies consider
the riding of waves
and surf-spray caresses
as bright exposure
strips their hulls.
