Visiting your poems again, Bharati, and was attracted to this title. I strongly relate to the idea of it; I’ve written several poems that embody the idea; among the titles are Nothing Ordinary Snowflakes On Stars and Fame My Backyard. Of course you’re not ordinary. There’s a saying I like— To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world. And I notice that here in PH you are known and appreciated by many. Love keep you. Glen

Ordinary, oh, very sad poem yet I like it to read, thanks for it

Hi Bharati, A pabble is not an ordinary piece of stone. Its sharp corners are rounded by the flow of the river that carries it from the birth, by rubbing it off on hard surfaces. Yes, the river called 'life' and its harsh realities. These experiences kindle the creative energy. Your poems are witnesses to them. As Rajendranji has mentioned, we all pass by your exquisite poems, and may be, pick up pebble here or there. And try to read OUR life in them. Loved reading. Thank you.

I am the passer-by of your poem. I do collect pebbles and rather see divinity in them. Beautiful poem. (10)

Some colour and beauty! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

I wholly agree with Daniel's comments on this poem. From the simple image emerges a depth of meaning. Pebbles start ripples after all. Beautiful poem.

This poem contains the best kind of moral lesson because it is expressed in a narrative that quietly proves the point. The pebble is not preaching, it is merely stating the reality of its existence; we immediately trust this voice of experience. The simplicity and lack of pretense are so refreshing in this age of overtstement

Such a beautiful write. I agree with naseerudheen that it's an extraordinary write. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. You have brought Shakespeare's words to life with this gem of a piece. A big 10.

This is a beautiful extraordinary poem

Any pebble that is anything like you will NOT be ordinary. Not in the least. That said, let's say that the pebble is truly unremarkable in color, markings, etc. I have found that the most ordinary stone is gorgeous when wet. So if you want to see the real person, just dump a bucket of water over their head. Okay, I am factious here. But people can be so attractive when smiling at a child, when painting a scenic picture, when offering another person their place in line- - just cannot judge the attractiveness of people by their appearance- -actions reveal so much more. Lovely poem, as usual, Bharati. 10+++++++++++

What appears to be ordinary to somebody could be priceless to someone else, this shows the true nature of man, everyone has a different taste.a prime example is love. it comes in different forms and beauty. a marvelous write. rated 10+

Excellent write.... Your 'Ordinary' is extra ordinary....10

But all pebbles do not find the lucky passerby to get picked, A thought provoking poem with philosophical touch...Love it, Loved it and Loved it....100+++
