Roll-Splash-Roll by Robin Prince Monroe

Roll-Splash-Roll by Robin Prince Monroe

Sprinkles dance in lacy clouds,

then hop down to explore the thirsty earth,

and race through rivers to play in the sea.

They dare to sneak up to taste the sand

where sunlight catches the diamond drops

and coaxes them back to the gentle clouds

collecting them all with greedy pride

Soon, too many to stay contained,

burst like fireworks over the land,

then run, giggling back to the sea

to roll-splash-roll up on the shore.

She delights in writing for children; and has authored four picture books, a middle grade novel and a chapeter book. Her work has also appeared in Guideposts, Money Matters, and Special Education Today.Currently working on some pieces for “big” people, Robin is having fun writing a short story, a novella, and her memoir.
