Wednesday February 2, 2011 Poetic Assides/ A Small Stone/Three Word Wednesday



A Small Stone #2

Far away
People protest
High cost of food
It has risen 70%

Well done
Wall Street

Three Word Wednesday Prompt: Abrasive, Handful, Loss

Wonders of Nature
Gather by handfuls
Sand, seashells,
Mountains, rivers
Deer, beaver
Eagles, hawks
All of the wonders of Nature

It is us who are abrasive
Our way of "life"
(Perhaps I mean death)
The wonders of Nature
Will be our loss

All three pieces speak of a concern for the world we inhabit. It's present race toward a place no one really wants to be. Thank you for raising your voice times three.
