Spring Fling Kidslit Contest Entry: Sugar Rush


Sugar Rush


Cassie drank rainbows with eyes sweet as honey.

Heard the weaver whipping clouds 

Into sugary rainbows.


“I want! I want! I want!”


Cassie was a stone. Drop!

Cassie was a minnow.  Flop!

Cassie was a cat. Rawr!


But cats and stones, and minnows

Don’t get rainbows.


So Cassie became a storm

All dark and rain

All deep angry thunder.


The patient winds 

Blew in an old familiar song. 

The raindrops changed the beat.

The thunder sang along.


Cassie a cloud

Soothed glided in the breeze.

She waited unconcerned. 


Waited til the sun shone

Until the rainbow returned


One

Two

Three

“Please?”


Cassie drank rainbows with lips as sweet as candy.

Cassie nibbled fluffy dreams.

And danced in sugar sunlight.

On glazed candy wings.


Hop, twirl, hop


Hop, spin


Plop.
