The writing contest from Kaitlyn Sanchez and Ciara O'Neal was a fun challenge! Write a short 150 word or less story inspired by a Spring GIF!
Here is my entry!

Let the Beat Drop
​
As raindrops fell
and splat in the street,
thunder boomed like a bass
but, Ida danced to the beat.
 
More drops whirled while
the wind whistled a tune.
They tickled her nose
on a wet afternoon.
 
She tap-danced in puddles,
and splashed all the trees.
Then batted the branches
holding glistening leaves.
 
When it poured in waves,
Ida ran inside fast.
The house seemed to shake,
and the lightning crashed.
 
Rain rattled the windows,                                          
and clung to the screen.
It pounded the yard,
‘til it flowed a stream.
 
Then all of a sudden,
The noise just stopped.
There was no more thunder.
No lightning.  No drops.
 
A rainbow appeared
to Ida’s delight.
The sun shining through
was a beautiful sight.
 
The flowers rose up
To applaud the rain
As the last drop
dripped off the roof,
down the drain.
