50 Precious Words

Vivian Kirkfield hosts a fun challenge #50PreciousWords. This is a fun challenge for all writers and in particular children's book writer's since we need to make sure every word counts in our stories. Last year I won an honorable mention for my entry, BE. Yay!

Check it the challenge here and feel free to play along. This is my entry this year:

A Moment

By Traci Van Wagoner

A butterfly visits

A heart beats wildly, watching

Nature sings in butterfly wings

Pause…

A deep breath in

Flower heads raise in sun’s praise

Bee’s wings buzzzZZZzz

Pause…

A deep breath out,

Shout, “I love nature!”

Birds take to the sky

A chorus of wings flapping

Swoop!

DUCK!

…Giggle.

Pause…
