It is simply a place to write tiny pieces of figurative language that try to capture a simple moment or experience in time. Writers post their efforts and leave comments on other writers’ work. It seems to be very popular because it is a creative outlet, and it allows a writer to dash off a line or two when she can’t seem to write longer pieces due to time or block.

Check it out. In the meantime I have included a few of my own stones from this past winter.

New Year’s beans bubble with expectation,

Boil in a broth of optimism.

**********************************************

Leaving the bed at dawn is challenging;

The cold bites my ankles, urges me to hurry.

**************************************************

Winter sky, the shades of a house mouse,

Hammers down my mind and soul,

Nailing me to a dark season.

********************************************

Quiet wings crouching on bare limbs,

Muffled chirps instead of song,

Winter birds shudder and

Wait for spring too…

*********************************************

The earth and sky wrestle over spring this morning.

Heavy snow falls from gray skies, accumulates;

Streets puddle as warm earth melts the cascading flakes.

Who will win in March?
