Beauty and the Bread
ReplyDeleteClementine hid in the flowers. Fresh-baked bread smells teased her tummy.
She tiptoed to the cottage window, hoping to find a crumb.
“Ouch,” she cried.
Something big stomped on her tail.
The Munchies
ReplyDeleteThe sweet smelling smoke made their bellies tumble with hunger. The house looked tasty. They hopped toward their dinner.

ReplyDeleteA Secret Special Place
ReplyDeleteJordyn opened the door.
The earth was a stir with life.
Jordyn didn’t want to be bothered. She kicked some dirt and shuffled down the lane.
A boring house.
ReplyDeleteA quiet wood.
The door is locked.
But the smell is good.
Shirley should not have entered.
Everything was fine until the day the Bad Bunny Gang hopped out of the forest and chomped all the grass off Mr. Wolf's roof.
ReplyDeleteIt was a beautiful day in Sunnybrook Hollow.
ReplyDeleteMorris McCreedy leaned out his bedroom window and inhaled the fresh scent of wild poppies.
“I hate spring,” he groaned.
Some great entries here, folks.
