I’m participating in the Spring Fling Writing Contest. The rules are simple: write a children’s story of no more than 150 words using a spring-themed gif as inspiration. Post it between April 1st and 3rd and add your post to the entry form. Here is my entry!
Voice of the Wildflowers
by Katie L. Carroll
As the mist of night lifted, a voice rose in the distance.
It danced through the meadow, over the hills, up into the puffy white clouds.
All the little blooms in the meadow lifted their sleepy heads.
Their petals opened wide, drinking in the sun and that voice…that beautiful voice!
The flowers had no ears to hear the song, but somehow it flowed into their stems and vibrated right down to their roots.
The voice drew closer and with it came a little girl in a pink polka-dot dress.
She skipped through the meadow, spreading wildflower seeds while she sang.
The flowers had no eyes to see the girl with her dress and her seeds, but somehow they knew her.
For she had been there before, spreading the seeds that would become those flowers.
The flowers had no hearts, but somehow they loved the girl and her voice.
Beautiful imagery. So glad I heard about this contest. Can’t wait to read more entries
Thank you! I’m excited to read the other entries as well.
Aww this is so sweet- makes me want to go plant more flowers! 🌸
Thanks! Tis the season for flower plantings.
I loved how the flowers, though they had no ears, felt the vibrations of the beautiful voice through their steams and recognized the little girl in the polka dot dress though they couldn’t see her.
