Dear Stone Soup Editors,

Please find attached my poem, “the morning around us,” for consideration in the Monthly Flash Contest. It is approximately 338 words.

I am a 14-year-old writer from Fremont, California. My work has previously appeared in Eunoia Review. This poem is a transformative piece that explores the sensory interactions between earth, air, fire, and water in a quiet morning setting.

I certify that this work is 100% my own and was created without the use of generative AI, in accordance with Stone Soup’s guidelines.

Thank you for your time and for everything you do for young writers.

Sincerely,
Dhaanvi Jaipuriar
