Poem -
After tea
I have chosen stones
for my pets
three small rocks of
mineral
pedigree
a gift from
good earth?
no,
I snatched them
for free...
they speak not at all
and they have little worth but
they never need feeding
they don't ever bleed
they cannot be hurt and of
walking ...no need...
they don't seem to feel much and
that's fine by me, I'm hoping
they'll teach me this skill
After tea

Thanks Neville x
I also always bring home stones to remember happy places (like Owenahinchy Beach, where I found at Miuth of Brook a stone like an ancient style of Mother Goddess), yet it needs feeding and feeling from me, for too long I was stone... The iriny therefore that irony can have an opposite effect... And such a shame my weeks eat too much energy that I can only Cosmo on Sundays, making it s special dayπ€£ keep postingβ€οΈ
Yea...me too..there is something about inanimate pieces of rock eh...I line them up on the garden wall ...thanks John ...appreciated x
I keep most of mine on my desks at the office (I have two work spaces - 1 for meetings and the other to he among my colleguesπ€£
Marion, I'm late here but so lucky to find and read this.
It is a glowing and powerful piece of brilliance and no bullshit kidding either.
This is an absolutely timeless piece of writing , a modern day classic.
It is like reading an Alan Bennett monologue at the peak of his powers.
This deserves to be chosen and win easily, the comp on here.
Thanks for sharing and hugs to you.x.
And eat your heart out Alan BennettΒ !!
