Spring Fling Contest Entry: Maple Waits
This is my first time entering the Spring Fling Kidlit contest hosted by Kaitlyn Sanchez and Ciara O'Neal. The challenge is to write a story for kids in 150 words or less with a spring gif as inpiration. I hope you enjoy! Gif from Giphy: https://gph.is/1a9egi0 Maple Waits (43 words) Pear tree pops with white, Cherry boasts pink, But Maple waits. Daffodils smile yellow. Crocuses peek purple. Maple sits brown and bare. Buds form slowly. Seeds burst green. Just a little longer . . . Wind gusts. Helicopters take flight! Whirling, twirling, tumbling to the ground.
