Spring Writing #3



Circle of Life
I’m in the garden
I plow rows
The sun shines
The rain flows
A seed pops
A plant grows
A flower blooms
The wind blows
A bee buzzes
And pollen goes
Into the air
And to my nose
I breathe deep
ACHOO!
Allergy woes.

Spring Writing #2 - Spring Fling Contest Entry - Spring Cleaning



Mom says, “Time for spring cleaning.”
How did spring get dirty?
“We’ll clean out closets,
under our beds,
dust and sort EVERYTHING!”
I pouted.
I read.
I played.
Mom checked on me. She frowned.
“You’re not spring cleaning.”
I groaned.
I made my bed,
put away my toys,
and started to pick up books.
But they wanted to be read, not sit on a shelf.
I read three.
Mom checked on me. She grinned.
“Good start.”
I sighed and put away the books.
I dusted, swept, and hummed a song.
I straightened my keepsakes,
put up my softball equipment,
and danced as I folded clothes.
I opened my curtains and was amazed.
What a bright, clean room!
I could dance and play.
Mom checked on me. She smiled.
“Great job!”
She put a huge pillow in the corner by my books.
It’s my favorite spot
in my spring-cleaned room.
