(Entry for Tell Me About Your Hobby Poetry Contest, submitted April 21, 2024.)
As hobbies go, collecting collectibles is fun, interesting, even delectable. I like to collect coins. I acquire them honestly, I do not steal or purloin. It is such a pleasure to acquire treasure, and you can have a collection that is extensive and impressive but not expensive. Whether they are bronze, silver or gold, coins are glittery. With each one, you hold a piece of art and history. Coin collecting is also called numismatics. When collecting, it is best to be systematic. I keep my pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters separate. Numismatists say my collection is first-rate! Collecting coins has brought me many hours of fun and, someday, they will be passed down to my son, when my time on earth is done.
