Solitary Ramble

BY AN ANONYMOUS SUBMITTER

crunching stones
granite, quartz, gneiss
underfoot and all
around.

startle a snipe
rustle a grouse
babbling brook.

rumble, roll
and grumble.

waves hitting
stone and shingle.
tide's coming in.

a calling seagull
slowly circling
searching
for some food.

now and then
a sheep responds.
