An example of a quick story I wrote:
When Jake’s teacher announced their writing assignment was a Valentine’s poem, he was not happy one bit. Blah, Valentine’s Day, Jake thought.
He ran home after school to play catch with his dog named Cain. He wished more than ever he could live the life as his pup right now.
“Dogs don’t have to go to school and write poems about flowers, roses, and words about love,” Jake grumbled.
Jake decided right then and there, he was going to write a poem about his best friend.
My Best Friend
Valentine’s Day is here again,
an assignment is due today.
Writing of things such as flowers and hearts,
is really just never my way.
Gooey dark chocolate, it’s great,
red, white and pink candy, the rage.
I’d rather spend time with my sweet friend and mate,
than be in this blazing red craze.
This story idea and poem was inspired by one of my books called:
“A Search and Find of Every Kind with Jake and his dog named Cain.”
The inspiration for this book came from our youngest son Jake and his dog.
By the way, he and his brother were always okay with Valentine’s Day and gave straight from their hearts every time.
Thank you guys!
Good luck on the contest and….
Happy Writing!
