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
Please sign my
guest book, your comments will be much appreciated.

3. Poppy haiku


the poppy applauds
sun and wind in morning dress
a scarlet salute

2. Like a bird on a wire (Haiku)



A bird on a wire,
Cohen’s melancholy song
a passing of time.

1. poppy


Like a Spanish dancer
your dress unfurls
to the song of the sun,
beguiling the attentive caresses
of hectic bees.

Spring hangs chains


Spring hangs chains
from bough and twig,
lamplighter bees
begin their ministrations.
There is a smile upon the breeze.

Spring

spawning in the pond
nature tilts at spring's new dawn
life in a bubble

Flavour



Amazing Grace of God:
snowflake on the ground
covering the barren with white,
precision creation
bringing life.
Yet still we coat
this road with salt.
