The Birds by Phillie Casablanca

My musings-20- Stone

I tried pelting a stone at him
It failed to hit him
Or such things any
Despite being aimed well
It fell, wayside, miserably

My irking haste, I was in
I had wrapped it loose
In a paper thin-
A good poem page,
She offered me to read!

Happy days may stay ahead-
Unhurt, un-bruised!

The poem's flow skips a bit rough, but the message reminds me of a poem by D.H. Lawrence called the "Snake". How an intent misses the mark and leaves the heart bare to all humanity. Even in darkness there is a discovery of what we are in every action. Quite a comparison I must say with dignity. A poet friend// RH Peat

Happy days may stay ahead- Unhurt, unbruised An impetuous action and again an introspection...lead life towards a safer and more comfortable shore...so well penned.

Good poem for open for interpretation; The toughest things like dark days when wrapped with something warm as love can make it less hurtful and can convey a message to others just like the hurled stone conveys a page of poem. Great thoughts, Sir.
