Pebbleorium: Oak Table Still Life

Oak Table Still Life

Broad daisies and airy buttercups

carried up from the creekside pasture,

their stems thrust into a canning jar,

nod above a yellow soup plate

mounded with bright red cherries.

About Small Stones

Small Stones are little pieces of writing that capture moments of paying attention. Most are only a line or two and take just a moment of focused observation and a few minutes of jotting and polishing.

Many of the pieces I post here are actually bigger rocks, or strings of small stones. I do aim to stay with closely focused observation even if I have a little bigger story to tell.

Either way, writing Small Stones has turned each day into a treasure hunt with riches cropping up everywhere. Try it yourself!
