Hi Rula
Not sure I've ever known rocks to roll silently but there IS a lot of imagery here
I really
should have used stones instead of rocks. It works better I think?
Too many stones Rula.
I was told just one, but the verse is clear as gravity.
All edits are allowed right up until next exercise begins
And, yes, a single stone is preferable
Rocks or tears?
I thought tears worked slightly better than rocks in this.
It's funny isn't it, how we all describe the one thing so completely differently.
