Cookie Jar

    Arm outstretched,
    Toes pointed, at their utmost highest
    Straining those little fingers

    Eyes wide
    Curly hair bobbing with frustration
    Finally grasping it towards her

    Crash! Bang!
    Clay and crumbs mixed, scattered
    Pouting lips, all she wanted was a cookie
