shapely

I thought about a lot of different things today
"shapely"

Mostly, my thoughts were about things that were
shapely,
but not necessarily in a feminine, voluptuous sense.

I thought about
 a bin of recyclable bottles in my garage,
those heavy, gray clouds in the sky today.
I even thought about that
twisty, jagged barbed wire
I photographed yesterday.

All shapely, but not what I'm looking for.
And then I realized I had what I was looking for.

Yesterday, we were camping,
and while the "men" fished,
the girls went looking for rocks.


"shapely" rocks, as a matter of fact!
