written so long ago (inside my old notebook from last year)...didn't put down a date.


Hopscotch

I pick up a pebble, smooth as a pearl.
I walk to the spot, lined with old chalk.
I throw the tiny pebble, it flies
a small distance.
I begin to take off, hop-hop-hop.

i dont know if hopscotch is a metaphor for something but im simple-minded this morning and im thinking of childhood and playing lightly without being aware of the world... just being a kid and enjoying being a kid is what i got from your poem... its light and made me think of joy... nice... thanks for sharing :)

later...xx
