Today, as we were driving to school, two of my granddaughters and I began composing a joint poem. I began with the first line, ” May each of us remove one stone,” and then the wrangling about what should follow began. Sami, who was serving as transcriber, finally became exasperated and wrote:
Every five seconds an editation
is leading me to great frustration.
I hope this will finally come to an end
and I can soon put down my pen.
We decided to invite you, the reader, to weigh in with your suggested follow-up to “May each of us remove one stone…” and see where that will take us. We’re looking forward to hearing from you.
