Grace Mancini, 11Glenside, PA It Was Grace Mancini, 11 It was red, like a ripe strawberry It was orange, like a bright neon glow It was yellow, like the blinding sun It was green, like the soft touch of grass It was blue, like the depths of the ocean It was purple, like a lilac in full bloom It was spreading farther then my fingertips could ever touch It was the world So warm So welcoming Yet so far away from the mess that we are living in.

Daily Creativity #46 | Flash Contest: Write a Mystery
Write a mystery story. Think about the arc of your story, and plan out the actions and motives of the characters. Does the reader know something the characters don’t, or is the reader in the dark until the end? Think about how the mystery might unfold for the different characters and for your readers. Editor’s note: Today’s Daily Creativity prompt is another challenge set by Anya Geist, Stone Soup reader and contributor, so for this week’s contest, she will ,join the Stone Soup team once again as a co-judge!
Believe, a poem by Ben Starner, 12
Believe Ben Starner, 12 The greater the challenge The rougher the sea The thinner the bridge The less you believe The wider the water The bigger the plight The harder the problem The darker the night The imposing contagion There’s people who fight So don’t be afraid But careful of night It soon will be over Soon it will end its rampage And will not come back Until a different age The greater the challenge The rougher the sea The thinner the bridge The more you believe Ben Starner, 12Seattle, WA
