The slanted rock is as smooth as a strawberry,

A jagged rock is as green as an evergreen,

The pine tree is as tall as a plane,

A pinecone creaks as it falls.

A little violet flower seems to rock in the

breeze and smells like new shoes.

As a bumblebee bumbles past my forefinger,

The kids shriek and giggle as they also

encounter new things.

As I encounter a new me.
