I love a good writing competition! They challenge you to write something fresh, get those creative juices flowing and step outside your comfort zone. It’s also a wonderful way to connect with other writers of kid lit and have a little fun together. Below is my entry for this year’s #FallWritingFrenzy 2021 competition.
ONE FULL MOON
By Pippa Chorley
A counting board book, numbers 1-20.
One full moon.
A glaring of cats.
A coven of witches.
A cloud of bats.
A haunting of ghosts.
A chorus of howls.
A porchway of pumpkins.
A parliament of owls.
A stagger of zombies.
A graveyard of stones.
A gnashing of teeth.
A clatter of bones.
A magic of wands.
A millinery of hats.
An autumn of leaves.
A mischief of rats.
A cauldron of candy.
A sweep of broomsticks.
A clutter of spiders.
A bag full of tricks.
Everyone scream…
… Happy Halloween!
I love this so much. My favorite is an autumn of leaves. So clever!!
