    Yesterday, I did a little yardwork in our gorgeous Arizona weather, and displayed several collected desert rocks in a new and distinctive location…I’m lovin’ your sentiments here… Great Haiku!

    Ancient indeed…I thought it might have been a shell fragment.

    i have a friend who reached into her potato bag to make her irish stew and pulled out one that looked exactly like a heart shaped rock.
    today your stone looks so much like a potato.
    (well i could be influenced by Guinness stout and the luck of the irish!)

    Even some desert stones see some water somewhen. [I added the first some :-)] I like the barrenness (also the Baroness). Nice Haiku.

    Our history caught in the ancient knowledge of stones and pebbles. Awesome photo MMT and a really wonderfully composed haiku.

    a water-worn oddity, your ancient stone…memories of a valley stream

    Man that thing looks so smooth. Must have been through a lot.

    You must be well acquainted with paradise and from the sound of the lullaby your poem sings, it must be a peaceful place.

    Ah how wonderful those stones sing.. I watched a program about Sahara… and there the sand sings as the wind blows. The friction between the grains make it sing.

    First of all, amazing rock in that photo. It does appear ancient. Where the valley stream once ran? Beautiful haiku.
