About the name of my second poetry blog, also written (like the previous poem) for Poetic Bloomings. But as it is not itself a 'small stone' kind of observation, it is posted here rather than there.
‘Small stones’ are observations,
pieces of mindful writing –
looking outside oneself
for the beautiful, interesting or strange,
as if on a walk you found a stone,
brought it home and polished it.
Satya Robyn called them that
in 2010 when she invented them
and invited the world to play along
every day for a month. The world did,
creating a river of stones. Some of us
continue. Mine are verse; it’s what I do.
