Gathering Poems

I went into the woods
To seek solitude
And found poetry,
Uncovered words
Under old leaves and
Decoded secret messages
In the pebbles by the stream.
The stones whispered to me,
And the silence
Distilled into song.

this is absolutely amazing poetry, AGnes. If it is for the recent contest, I would give it a top place were I the judge. FAVED

Thank you so much, Andrea. This means a lot to me. No, this is not for the contest; it did not really fit the prompt "what poetry means", and I could not think of anything for that prompt that did not sound sentimental and sappy. So, it's just a poem :)
