Odd why I kept it

Uncle, river
Why I collect them, 
I have no idea
Friends older sister,
No one else collects,
Memories, jewels
Exotic, fat, weird
Wading, eating, visiting
Particular shapes, colours, 
Collection from the street, 
Collection to take home.
Retrieving, rules
Physically pick them up
Inner need, reasons
Cheap, free
Such a personal thing
You fall in love with it...
And you carry on
Some people do not understand
I am not sure I understand it
I’d love to say it was an original idea
But it wasn’t
