This is an interesting poem that reminds us the stones in a riverbed are very old as the rivers carve their way down to the Earth's foundation on their way to the sea. I am trying to learn more about poetry and this one I understand. Thanks for reviewing my chapter.

Well, they would have existed certainly before my time on Earth, although the rocks may be hard pressed to reach the sea, the water is certainly on its way, a great 5/7/5, I enjoyed it, good luck, blessings Roy

The first two lines of this poem flow and connect well. The last line
put the poem all together. I pondered on where the stones came from
as the author states. The poem flows and connects well. The artwork
is awesome and compliments this poem.

Excellent entry for the. Write a Nature 5-7-5 writing prompt contest.

Good syllables count and connection between lines with great presentation and imagery. It flows well with descriptive words that paint a clear mental picture.

Good luck in the contest.

This nature 5-7-5, Stone from Before Time, has the right setup and reminds the readers that we are on the tail of millennia of change and movement.

How very delightful is the union of your photo of a river bed to illustrate the perfectly executed Japanese Haiku as you reflect on transitions that mother nature exposes us to within rocs washed out to sea. Good success in the contest.

He was famous for his watercolours. The blue pulls our eye to what was and could be. I liked your nature haiku. When the earth was born and the mountains rose, rocks fell between my toes. K xx

Great poem for the prompt. I absolutely love the last line: always the sea calls. You create masterful images in this one, and the picture is great as an accompanying piece of the post. Well done.

Those stones beneath the water have been around for many years. There is no telling how many of those stones have been used for weapons. Or for washing clothes. If only they could talk. Telling us who held them in their hands. Thank you for the great awareness poem.
