The Sunday Whirl

Posted Saturday February 27

This week's 12 given words are scarlet, group, run, bell, touch, jump, threat, cross, dream, mist, kiss and enough.

Our feet are bare but the forest floor is as soft as lambs wool. Look up there. The mist looks like a ghost, doesn't it? It's floating, drifting, tickling the tree tops.

Hey, a busy bubbly stream. Watch it go! Let's touch it, let the shimmering ripples kiss our fingers. That's nice. There's a group of wiggly fish, do you see? Just there. No, there. Silver. See? Let's jump to the other side. Shall we? Shall we? Ready steady….weeee. What fun, such fun! If only dreams were like this!

What are you looking at? No, not you silly! Over there. Her. That girl with scarlet curls in a gossamer gown. She is staring at us. She looks cross. I wonder why? We are no threat to her. Are we? Hello girl. Hello. She has a little gold bell. Do you see it? She's ringing it. Do you hear it? Ting-a-ling ting-a-ling. I think we should leave, don't you? Let's run. Come on, run, run! 

That's it. I've had enough merriment for one day. How about you? Let's go. Race you. Come on.
