 Thanks again this year to Kaitlyn Sanchez for hosting the Fall Writing Frenzy contest, and thanks also to all the sponsors who offered prizes! This is my entry, based on the photo below.

Fall Into Fun by Deborah Holt Williams (54 words)

 

Is a leaf surprised by a sudden tumble,

Or does it decide to descend,

To take flight, swirling and spiraling,

Down,

                   Down,

                                           Down.

Does it cling to the branch until children appear,

Then leap to join them in their joyful game?

Does a leaf wait for just the right moment

To come and play?
