Well, wonder no more because the rocks talked to you and you spoke for them with this poem. They do speak, just a different language- to be practical, to geologists; to be magical- to those attuned to hear. Love how you give thanks to the rock, kissing the stone making a wish and imagining it gleaming. Well, with this poem, it sure did. Great piece from as true bard of nature.

Thank you Sueellen. Yes, I was referring to that.
Comment from Nottoway
Nicely put words to looking at a rock! Pondering how long and how a rock came to be are magnificent.
I now wonder what the rock "thinks" of its many uses through the age-building block, a talisman for wishes or a weapon among many others. Indeed, if a rock could talk!

Hi, Treischel,
This is an excellent poem with great flow, structure, rhyme and scheme. It has excellent figurative language and many fantastic images.It is indeed a monumental work which the rock would say if it could talk.

Comment from Capricorn30
An intriguing writing as we contemplate the mysteries of these great, gray boulders;
A well-crafted geographic poem as we strive to uncover the many secrets of the earth;
Nice alliteration of "shiny stone" as nature amazes humans in abundant ways.
Excellent!

Comment from Roxanna Andrews
I collected rocks when I was a kid, thinking they had gold in them or something valuable. Then I'd try to sell them. Didn't do a booming business. =} I'm thinking in the 1st stanza the 2nd line you should take out 'I'm', and 2nd stanza take out 'and'. I think it would flow better. Just a thought. Well done. Rox
