Napowrimo Day 26 Poem

Prompt: Write a poem from the perspective of a rock.

April 26/13

Rock

Sun baked and hot, still,

Alone on a crowded beach,

As people crunch by.

Colours catch someone's attention,

Then dropped,

Clashing, chipping against the ground.

Shores crabs tickle their way underneath,

Seaweed drapes over.

Witness to the extinction of the dinosaurs,

The birth of humans,

Outlasting all except time.

Rough edges smoothed by

The pounding of tossing waves

Day after night after day.

In another thousand years,

Will be sand.
