the stone –
a bottomless
sound

  1. This is perfect. The image of the stone making the sound, and what the sound it, created with a simple suggestion.

    Each stone has a story to tell… one could get lost in that sound.
    Like Alice down the rabbit hole.

    Looking at the ripples of a stone toss or from a fish coming up from the bottom to eat a bug… a special silence those ripples.

    As a child, I’d pick up the largest stone I could manage, and throw it into the deepest point of a creek. I love that sound.

    • I think this one has many layers. I was busy writing to a photo prompt of a young fox who found a feather as big as him, so therefore completely different. Somehow in trying to find the words this little stand alone haiku/senryu happened. So I posted that instead. The fox and his feather remains to be written properly!! 😂

    • I read of an artist who carved stones with the particular idea of throwing it into a pond. He’d photograph the splash. It stayed with me.

  4. A form of infinity is what occurs to me in reading this. It’s beautiful.

    Nice: and scary. I can feel it dragging me down.
