***Author's Note*** For this round we were required to write a poem for children that featured rain, an apple, and a bicycle.
Wade was a bunny
Soft, fluffy, and white
He loved to gaze up
At the sky every night
The stars twinkling brightly
Filled him with such wonder
He failed to notice
The rumbling of thunder
The temperature dropped
And the next thing he knew
Thick clouds had rolled in
Obscuring his view
Wade quickly got drenched
By a downpour of rain
But visions of spaceships
Still raced through his brain
His fur soaking wet
Wade started to shiver
The ground was beginning
To become a river
"I suppose that I should
Seek out shelter now
I cannot see any more
Stars anyhow"
Wade hopped on his bike
And pedaled real hard
Until he reached Farmer
McMulligan''s yard.
He rode down the path
Towards the garden shed
When something hard bonked him
Right on the head
An apple had fallen
From a nearby tree
Just like when Ike Newton
Discovered gravity
Although Wade's head hurt
He still needed to find cover
But then his whole bicycle
Started to hover
Wade clung to the handles
And looked all around
How strange to be floating
Ten feet above ground
And still he kept rising
Higher and higher
He wondered if his bike
Was hooked to a wire
The next thing Wade knew
