The stones were hurtwhen taken apart
resentment ran high
when wood joined.
Wood wasn’t happy
to be placed like this
for all it thought
no purpose was seen.
Then the couple came
and sat in the door
looking at the fields
they talked on and on.
The wood heard them
and so did the stones
both happy at the
sight of comfort.
the stones did not fall
nor the wood chipped
but waited in unison
for other lovely beings.

This is a beautiful poem. I wouldn’t change a word.
neither me
glad to see you here !
a beautiful marriage of stone and wood….very nice…bkm
marriage .. perfect word for the relation !! thanks
Giving personality to the wood and the stone – pain and anguish, replaced in curiosity and joy at people’s presence. Of new life, springing up about them; and wait for more. Lovely.

This is so sweet, just lovely!
I liked the thought process of the stones and wood…
missing me
smiles…other lovely beings…and that is a really cool write…
Glad it came out this well
Nice! Love the picture
Awesome thought! Nice warm feeling!
This was very good. Excellent perspective, from the window.
Great job! I love how you were able to bring personality to the stones and wood so convincingly!
That window took us all to so many different places. I’ve read most of them now; but as I’m away haven’t been able to comment on many. This is very fine. You give a history to the scene and imply a story where I looked at loss, you only saw a place “in waiting”. You can read mine here: http://hollyheir.wordpress.com It’s the second one now as I have a Tanka up too.
Really like this. It is perfect. Gay @beachanny
It’s so nice to see love around… and feel loved…
You expressed this so vividly and beautifully in your poem here, Nimu..
Thanks for sharing this lovely positive piece at One Shot..
A great picture to go with verse.. I almost feel like waiting for the couple just like the wood and stone…
Nice!
