Collecting Rocks

Collecting Rocks

 

One rock—plop.
Two rocks—plop.

I pick them up.
I let them drop.

More and more.
I can’t stop!

I fill my bucket
to the top.

    Hi Cynthia, I have to admit I was picturing a toddler but now I’ll switch and picture you!

    I grew up in a family of rock hounds. I cannot resist picking up a pretty or an unusual rock. I love that my granddaughter is exactly the same way. There’s something about the feel of a rock in my pocket that I love. Thanks for sharing this cute poem.
