A lovely poem about pebbles the words make the art-pop. What an insightful way to ponder the origin and continuity of pebbles, stones and the centuries. Good luck in the contest, Laura.

Laura, thanks for the good wishes.
Comment from Patty Palmer
Beautiful poem! Those pebbles have been there for centuries or longer. How long it takes for a stone just to be smooth. And some of those stones and pebbles were at one time large stones or even boulders! And yes we are mere seconds old when compared to the pebbles. We will be gone and thousands of years those stones and pebbles will still be there.

Comment from RShipp
"...a new landscape is seen every day..." A great phrase. That is one of teh wonders I found thrilling on my walks each morning on the beach. Always 'new' things on the sands.
"...the knowledge that I hold centuries ..." I had never thought of that. Well done.
I enjoyed the read!

Beach combing is one of favorite morning rituals when at the beach.
Comment from Sallyo
The mystery of rocks and pebbles is indeed a fascinating one. Beachcombing (or river-rambling) is one of those activities that bring such notions to mind. You caught the wonder of it well.

Comment from Cindy Warren
It's humbling to think the sand between our toes and even the soil in the garden has been around for millions of years. Come to think of it, all of nature was around long before humans were. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from CrystieCookie999
This is a poem in couplets about how the speaker feels upon a beach of pebbles in an unnamed location. I love this couplet here: 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.
Rocks certainly inspire great thoughts.

Comment from Diana L Crawford
Excellent use of opposites in pebbles versus the boulder you stand on. How many of those pebbles were once part of a much bigger stone broken down over time into uniquely shaped tiny stones. Time never shows on their face as it does ours. Beautiful poem! xoxo

Comment from Mary Kay Bonfante
Beautiful poem, full of imagination! The image is really special, and reminds me of the aerial view of a city or neighborhood.
I think in "Mother Nature," both words are capitalized.
I enjoy being privy to the poet's thoughts about the history of these pebbles, their formation and their future. There must be something universal about such questions, because I have pondered similar ones in moments of reflection on the beach. What a wonderful, relaxing feeling, to thus contemplate nature. It comes across in your work.
