Jen H. Poet Rhyme

Pebbles

He called me, "Just another pebble in the stream"
All I could do was laugh, oh! how funny this all seemed
Did he know I was a mountain, up upon the peak?
Withered, away but picked up in a birds beak
Then in a nest I lay, perched in a grand old tree
But from there, oh yes, the whole world I could see
And when the nest frayed out I fell, so long
But from where I stood I could hear the birds song
Until the rain came and washed me away
And then upon the path I lay
Where a child's pudgy fingers picked me up
Squeezed me tight, told me to never give up
And when he skipped me on the waters top
I knew my ripples would never ever stop
So maybe to others it may only seem
But Lord knows I'm not "just another pebble in the stream"

Carolyn Devonshire December 17, 2009 at 7:38 PM You will never be "just another pebble in the stream" when you can write like this, Jen. Love the story of the mountain's remains snatched by a bird to see the view from its nest. The ripples you create are a refreshing addition to poetry soup, Jen! Quite a deep write. Merry Christmas! Love, Carolyn
