I was Stone

a lovely little couplet poem i jotted down

I was stone

Tumbling along banks of overhewn moss

 

Sailing on currents of blue and grey

And cutting my path through things unknown

 

I was stone

And I was harder than rocks

 

Fighting through tangles

As I kept rolling on

 

I was stone

But I’ve aged in reverse

 

Now much younger than ever

And smaller now, too

 

I was stone

I was but now no more

 

I’ve ran my short course

Now nothing but scree

Wow, this is a cool poem. I love the first stanza, makes me think of a Scottish moor thick with ancient story. I love the little couplets, they're so easy to read and you're so wonderful at them! I should try writing some more. Thank you so much for sharing. Flora.
