Everyday Poem-16, still A Pebble Very Ordinary
I am an ordinary pebble
Thrown by the stream side
Before that I went through
Many cycles of run downs
My edges smoothed
My body shined
But, I am still an ordinary pebble
Once you picked up
Perhaps looked at me with curiosity
and put me in your pocket absentmindedly
And I was put into a washing machine
Along with your dress
I am moving round and round
And you forgot to switch off
The machine still runs
Me in endless circles.

A very interesting pondering excellently expressed here! You well encapsulate the way that a pebble indeed must feel, and you connect very human feelings to it to make it understandable.

A very interesting and meaningful poem. We are like the pebbles: we are in endless circles as we go through the cycle of life.
