Brenda, Thank you for the time you spent review and comment on my poem.
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Playground's Secrets, presented in cascading rhyming couplets, finds the observer pondering the history of the tiny specks we see on the beach. What former mountain lays before us now?

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hello JLR, I love your choice of art for the competition - an ever changing art which is at the mercy of the tides. Your couplets are very well written and I particularly like -
Bending down to grab a handful of pebbles, so smooth to my touch.
My mind reels in the knowledge that I hold centuries in my clutch.
Good luck in the contest - Happy New Year to you and yours - regards Dorothy x

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That was quite a thought-provoking poem, JLR, I'd never looked at pebbles that way before, but you're right, some have been around more centuries than we realise. I enjoyed reading your thoughts in this poem. Well done! :)) Sandra xxx

What a neat idea for a contest. Cammycards is one of my favourites from FanArtReview.
Excellent rhyming couplets and I much enjoy your juxtaposing the small picture to the big picture.
Best of luck to you in the voting booth, J. :))

Comment from Alchera
Eight beautifully rhymed simply written couplets which enclosed, in a pensive glance, a flashback of human short historical existential miserable conditions on Mother Earth through the comparison of "a grabbed handful of pebbles" and its history. Your pebbles took me to Matthew Arnold's pebbles in his poem Dover Beach that he wrote during his honeymoon.Great Work. Blessings Tony

I love this one JLR and your thoughts as you wander the beach, stopping to pick up pebbles that may or may not be there when the tide turns once more.
Bending down to grab a handful of pebbles, so smooth to my touch.
My mind reels in the knowledge that I hold centuries in my clutch.
love those lines, great write.
cheers

Beautiful and artistic reflection on these pebbles by the shore! My favorite line was:
"My mind reels in the knowledge that I hold centuries in my clutch."
"Walking near waters edge I watch the eddy fight" (water's)
I think you'll do well in the contest!!
