Children with Sticks and Stones

This is the final sign that
Spring is finally fading into Summer:
young children
gathering stones,
looking around for sticks,
gravel and twigs.
They make things:
a circle of rocks here,
a stick stuck into the ground there,
being propped up by a rock.
Others take to the
greening grass,
and sit there plucking blades.
They wait for the Spring breeze to leave,
so they can feel warm sunlight on their faces.

I like the concept behind this one. I used to think that I would never lose the child-mentality- that other adults may forget what it’s like to think young- but I never would. But then I look at this and I like how you see the story behind the random
props!
