Sticks and Stones

Of course I drew a stick person

I was a stick person with a mere bush and spots

stick-to-it-ive-ness

ants crawling on sticks for monkeys

eeh-ahh-eeh-eeh-ahh

stick to your guns
this is a stick up

not stuck up

stick your stomach in
stick your butt out

stick to the facts
these are the facts

stick with me
and i will stick with you

stickers of hearts and unicorns
and stick those lighters up

higher stick them up

now, stonewall
and stone to death

stepping stones
stone cold look

stoney point
stoners

stone cold drunk
on pebble stones

heart of stone
wearing stonewashed leather jeans

sticky buns make for
sticky fingers

chakra stones
sweat lodge stones

sticks and stones may break my bones
but these are just my bones

and for the highly sensitive words can
surely hurt more

used to live in the sticks
with all the hicks

standing stonesin parrallel by Lorenna 
mckennit

Let he without sin throw the first stone

rolling stones concert in the 
90's
Ye-hoo!

women used to be stoned to death for adultry

stone temple pilots-core

stone sour come whatever may
an iowa band

Rosalena means stone

match sticks and birthstones

her thoughts always stick together
I/She is coherent!

this is sure an interesting way to do stick and stones. And I learned something new that I did not know about my home state of Iowa. Are you from there? Cute whimsical poem.

moved to Iowa 8 Years ago to the Cedar Rapids/Hiawatha area. My eight year old son was born here. And my mom lives here. Where did you live in Iowa?
