A Stone: One Daily Observation.
Gold enough for a queen
Gold enough to share

dVerse Poets Pub: Prompt poem inspired by Giorgio de Chirico
In a hot and dusty
Spanish town
Sitting quietly in the shade
The wind cools the hot afternoon
Guitar music floats out
Through the open door
Pink, white and red
Hollyhocks move gently
To the music
They long to pull up their
Roots and dance the Flameco
Click their heels
Hold up their ruffled skirts
That fall from their bodies
I look up and they have
Reclaimed their place in the garden
A single airplane
Slices the blue over head
Its’ muffled sound
Spills into the valley
To lay down in silence
