This month, we’re ringing in Spring with the Spring Fling Writing Contest! Pick a gif, write a Spring-story, keep it under 150 words. Easy, right?
Uh… no…
But definitely fun and a great way to welcome Spring! (There’s still time to enter if you can write fast–deadline is April 19 at 11:59pm CST!)
So, without further ado, here is my Spring Fling story (135 words):
Animal At The Zoo
First day of Spring.
Trip to the zoo!
Oh no—line too long!
Perch like a flamingo,
Wait like an alligator,
Until tickets bought.
Through the gate.
Hop like a kangaroo,
Parade like an elephant,
Greeting the animals.
Little brother’s cranky.
Squawk like a parrot,
Spit like a camel,
Time for lunch.
Spread out the picnic.
Gobble like a turkey,
Eat like a warthog,
Sandwiches gone.
Can we play?
Swing like a monkey,
Slide like a penguin,
Until…
Rain!
Splash like a duck,
Giggle like a hyena,
Spring rainstorm gone.
Afternoon sillies.
Sneak like a jaguar,
Roll like a panda,
Hide like an ostrich.
LOST!
Found.
Hug like a bear,
Squeeze like a boa constrictor,
It’s okay Mom.
Stretch like a giraffe,
Yawn like a lion,
Sleep like a sloth,
Until the next Spring Day.
