50 Precious Words Challenge, 2018!

3/1/2018

3 Comments

 
    Oh happy day! It's time again for Vivian Kirkfield's "50 Precious Words" challenge, in which writers compose a complete (beginning, middle, end) children's story--not exceeding 50 words in length.
     I'm going nonfiction with my entry this year. And of course, poetic. (Because I can't help it.)

Magnify Me!
 
Mallard swims and braves the weather
in a raincoat made of feather.
 
Feather? What a silly coat!
Can it really help him float?
 
…Magnify me!
What do you see?
 
Tiny branching barbs and hooks
offer more than handsome looks--
trapping heat and blocking wet.
 
…How much closer can you get?

Fun, interesting, and spot-on meter and rhyme. Beautifully done, Heather!
