The Stone




The Stone

During the 70's I wrote a poem called The Stone. It was about a young boy who found a  bright and gleaming stone on the beach that he thought was a 'star stone'. Alas, when the holiday was over and he was back home, he opened his suitcase, and found his 'star stone' was just a dull lifeless pebble.
The poem was well received when I read it at a local folk club, as was the picture I painted to accompany it.

Both poem and picture are lost to me now, but here I have tried to reconstruct the picture from memory. Perhaps I'll do the same for the poem someday, and bore you nice people with that as well!
