Lot of birthdays this month...got me thinking about my little story that placed in Vivian Kirkfield's 50 Precious Words contest earlier this year. Thought I'd share here for anyone else blowing out birthday candles!
Make a Wish
By Hollie Wolverton
A spark sets me aglow.
At first, I flicker low.
But soon my blaze grows strong
As voices raise in song.
Then a quiet hush…
‘til wind comes in a rush.
The eager, whooshing air
Brings magic to my flare.
Wispy smoke makes clear,
You’ll get your wish this year!
