Pebble

[harriet_m_welsh]

Yesterday was Grandpa's birthday. He became 86. I need to stop and get a birthday card before I start out for the day.

This morning I found a poem Tristan wrote stuffed in his backpack with some other schoolwork:

My pebble

My pebble
is
Displeased.
My pebble-
The pebble

What an interesting poem!
I think it is very descriptive.

I thought so too. I don't know why but it strikes me so sad though.

That's an incredibly good poem.

You have a really talented kid.

That is an amazing poem...I hear it as angry rather than sad though...like the pebble is some ancient god...enkidu maybe, although he was less a god and more a force of nature personified...

That poem sounds like something read by a beatnik in some smoky jazz club. Dig it.

Wow, that is interesting. I wonder if he thinks that a face, like the pebble will live forever even if the person dies.
