It was a really good practice for me to write a stone every day for a month. Stones are a good discipline for me and I will continue to write them and post them here, just not every day.

Stone 30-Amber Eyes

Amber eyes, amber curls,
tiny girl directs me
to rocking chair,
takes her own seat.
We rock in peace.

Stone 29 - Friends with Cameras

Friends with cameras
look for angles to
catch smiles, hugs,
connections, cherish
each friend present.
Most dominant, unspoken,
her empty chair.

Stone 28- Summer Starlight

Windy summer night
stars swirl through wood,
enfold me, hold me,
rock away cares
of city day

Stone 27 - Easter Egg

My daughter says I look like
an Easter egg in the lime and
white silk punjab I couldn't
resist buying at Savers.
Not my own ethnic heritage,
Not my tradition. I love it.
Happy Jewish Easter egg here.

Stone 26, Por lump

Plain white plate
painted with cartoon
in black of long dog,
inscribed Por Lump,
impulsive gift from frind
to friend over lunch,
in museum under glass
because painter was Picasso.

Stone 25- Overheard

Lilt of laughter
Daddy, Mama, son,
as love assembles
monorail under
kitchen table.
