The tempestuous sea, with its haunting music,
deposits small pebbles, with different colours,
shapes and textures, all smooth after years of
life in sea, competing in their artistic beauty
Each of these invaluable gems
is picked for free by those
who have walked the earth for few years
only to be thrown away
once they are tired of it
Beautiful!
Thank you, Roxi!
I can almost feel the waves on the beach through your words… Sheer beauty.
Thank you so much, Esenga:) This topic is so special because it reminds me of my childhood:)
the last two lines add beauty to the depth!
Thank you so much, Soumya
Nice aphorism without the pith.
So many secrets these pebbles hold.
yes:) and also memories of childhood..
This is really good!
Thank you so much and glad you enjoyed
A lovely picture! And such a cute little poem… We’re just like the pebbles, being used by society until they’re bored of us…
that’s so true..Thank you so much for stopping by and the comment
“…only to be thrown away..once they are tired of it…”

Beautiful!!!
Thank you, Rexlin. Appreciate your stopping by..
what an amazing observation and fabulous poem padmini!
Thank you so much, Sharmishtha
Ah, padmini I need to make more time in my day to visit you. Your’s is one of the few blogs that I actually feel more rested and at peace when I visit and I leave. And of course your words are always so very beautiful that it’s hard to just call them poetry, they are quite in a class by themselves, moving imagery of emotions, sensations and feelings. Thank you. I’m going to be here awhile reading to catch up and will just hit the like button on each one, as I know they will all be exceptional, just wanted to make sure you know how I feel about your talent/gift, my most special and cherished friend!

Hi Penny, so glad you took the time to visit here. Thank you so much for the appreciation.. have started trying 100-word fiction of late. that is the only difference, I guess:) Though nature is my comfort zone, I am also moving out every once in a while:) I always look forward to your visits. Thank you:)
Always a pleasure for me!
