Hello, I don't have any specific questions with this poem, so much as I was just hoping to get some general feedback. I guess I'm questioning the effectiveness of the ambiguity... Anyway:
I sat with the wise rocks and they told me stories which where mostly untrue, but still rather entertaining.
And then they unveiled to me a small bit of knowledge that I have carried with me the rest of my life.
I think they told me, not because I was worthy, but because I sat with them, rather than on them.
"I Sat With the Rocks" definitely resonated with me. Appreciated very much the punchline of sitting "with", not "upon" the rocks, and how the speaker was rewarded for his/her sensitivity. Reminded me of the Little Prince and the fox who taught the former how to be tamed in St. Exupery's lovely story.
Your ambiguity works just fine.
Well writ. Welcome to QL and please feel free to share more of your creativity (replies to others' works would be nice as well).
