d’Verse Poets Pub – Quadrille #45
Mish is throwing rocks in the Pub today
~~
Heart of Stone
what i know about rocks could fill a
rocket
or not
i know they can be thrown
and skipped
dug up
and buried
painted
sometimes they rock when
stepped on
what I’ve learned about rocks
is that they hold great mysteries
in their hearts
rhymeswithbug 
This is very beautiful!

I like the simplicity of this. It could almost be a child’s essay, yet at the same time there is a profundity to it. Nice write.

Wonderful write. Simple and to the point yet not full of pretentious mishmash. the mysteries hidden in the hearts of rocks. I remember cracking open my first rock and finding a small fossil. So very cool..

Nice! I like the way the matter of facts shift to a more abstract and mysterious side of rocks.

They certainly do! These must be lots of stories of disasters, sufferings and survivals from such calamities

The last bit is written as only a true rock hound would write! At the heart… great mysteries. Sometimes a bit of “violence” (cutting, polishing, tumbling) reveals the beauty that’s always been within.

Some hold real gems inside, if correctly cut and polished!

I enjoyed the play on the words ‘rocks’ and ‘rocket’ and the way you played around with those stones – there’s lots of movement in your quadrille, Candy, which is interesting when a rock doesn’t actually move much unless we interact with it. Now that’s got me thinking…
