Today’s Throwback Friday is from February 2023. The poem was created from anecdotes that I had written and sent to my fellow bloggersβ sites, as replies to their articles/poems.

The Odds and Ends, I send
Our head reaches for the clouds
But our heart forgets to speak aloud
We are all little fish in a big sea
Swimming below the atmosphere
Created by natureβs life-giving trees
Not all rocks
Are not just rocks
Some old rocks
When you study their socks
And listen to their knees knock
They βHave rocked around the clockβ

I really like this line –> Some old rocks
When you study their socks
And listen to their knees knock
They βHave rocked around the clockβ
