Smooth and cold
scattered on the sand
begging to be thrown 
or taken home.
Your brothers and sisters
brighten the shore, 
glimmering in the evening light;
a family at peace. 

(written long ago when someone dared me to write a poem about a rock)

I dare you to write a poem about other objects that float.

As in "pick other objects from the 'burn the witch' scene in 'Monty Python' ", or literally a poem about other objects that float?
