Somebody left a bunch of small word rocks on top of one large rock near the Jamaica Pond boathouse.

The kids in the After-School program and Daycare center at Mission Park did something similar last year to beautify the rock garden in front of their center. It was on the ground though so no one thought to use them like refrigerator magnet poetry, Cute idea!

One person's poetry is another person's commercial marketing message.
Or offensive-to-some messaging.
Free speech includes speech you may not find very pleasing.
Keep it on the fridge. Mother Nature told me herself that she hates it when people dab ugly splotches of garish make-up on her without any consideration for herself or other users.
Save the stone tagging for the elementary school bulletin board or rock garden.

I'm a fan of "leave no trace" when hiking and enjoying nature. To me, this counts as litter. I enjoy going to nature to be in nature - not surrounded by tacky painted rocks.
Surrounded?

It was one rock around a large (dare I say great) pond, which I only noticed because I was, to be honest, looking down for a possible spot to take a photo of all the trees with their bases and roots currently inundated by the pond's unusually high water levels.
Have you ever been to Jamaica Pond? There are a couple of wildish areas, but the stretch along the parkway? It's a pleasant area, just the spot to listen to some jamming guitarists on a nice Saturday afternoon, but it's very much a manmade area, a "park," you might even say (complete with a gazebo and boathouse), not exactly the place to commune with nature, unless by nature you mean "lots of little fuzzy dogs on leashes - and geese."

One sometimes becomes many, though, and then it can create real problems. That's the situation with cairn-building, which park rangers everywhere are pretty strongly against.
