2017 - Spring - Unintended Consequences & Jagged Edges Entry

Rounded Rocks - 1. Rounded Rocks

Rounded Rocks

 

 

Jagged edges…?

 

I'd rather be a collection of river rocks

rounded smooth

matured and mellowed

not showing the turmoil

that knocked me flat a million times

in the currents of chaos.

 

Rather be the river rock that I am.

I often struggle to inderstand poetry but this poem makes perfect sense to me.  It also makes me jealous of smooth rocks!  

Everytime I start feeling like that nice calm rock life finds yet another edge to snap off or file down.

Thanks for this great review, jfalkon. I'm sorry I did not see it until now. 

 

Your comments about this poem making perfect sense brings a smile to my face. Yes, to me verse should all be about sharing common experiences. Thanks again for reading.

AC, i am again late to the party but found a lot to like in this small, yet powerful piece.

the smooth round rocks would have much to say, if they could talk. 

of their journey, the times when the hits just kept coming, tumbling them so they didn't know if there would be anything of the original rock left. of the slow, relentless moving and polishing of the water.

 

thank you for sharing with us

Never too late, Molly! Thank you for reading this poem. I think it says a lot too, and came to me at a particularly trying time.

 

Thanks again for reading :)
