next to a frozen pond
I long to skip
to another time
another place

    Upon reading this, I long for Spring so I can throw that stone into that pond…

    Yes, Rhoda Galgiani, and skip it over the water – like in Dambusters!

    spring pond
    looking for skipping stones
    not so the frog

    [sparkling spring pond
    looking for a skipping stone
    OMG! a frog?]

    I love the progression of this. Sometimes we do wish to be elsewhere, maybe on a warm tropical beach!
