Day 7

A vignette is a short piece of writing that is under 800 words that can be written in poem, short story or narrative from. We wrote our vignettes on wildlife we saw at the Cox Arboretum, but first we wrote one on a prompt the Ms. Cindric gave us as a practice.

The cold water is brushing across me

Brothers and sisters surround me in the silence

The green trees and red bushes look down on me

I am solid and stout, but I like that

A crawfish lives under me and squirrels stand on top of me

I am a rock solid and blank of emotion

Here is a picture of what I was writing about.

The humans drop what I eat

They neglect to clean my home

What they call trash I call breakfast

I am the cleanup crew

When you drop bread crumbs it gives me life

My brown stripes help me hide from you

I am the safest of them all as you do not look at me

Brothers and sisters surround me, brilliant with color

But I say colors and sizes do not separate us

We are who we are, and I.

I am proud to be a ground feeding sparrow
