Prose Challenge – Write a story in no more than 100 words that includes the following words:

• spring
• blossom
• bud
• nature
• bloom

When spring arrives the fairies in my garden rejoice the arrival of the first blossom.

From the moment the first bud is visible they come out of their winter abodes and set to work to nurture and care for everything that heralds the season of regrowth.

They see themselves as co-existing with the nature surrounding them.

For the fairies the nectar of the buds is life-giving, stimulating and the precursor to their pursuit of a partner.

The males adorn themselves with colourful blooms and at the Fairy Spring Fair perform a mating dance, some successfully others needing more practice.
