Ah, May. A month generally overlooked if you're not a) Hispanic (of a specific type, perhaps, but nonetheless), b) a mother (hope none of you forget Mother's Day presents), c) have a family/personal event that happens(/ed) to fall here in this month that desperately needs attention, or d) a student whose school systems let out in the middle of this underappreciated lunar cycle.
So here's what I want you to do.
Make a character to shake the very foundations of this quiet month. I want them loud and proud. I might also give you points if they utilize flowers in some regard. Anyway, deez da rules:
1. Word limit, 350 per section. Longer than previous months, but I have a lot of time this month, since I'm not competing.
2. Nature-themed! Grass, trees, mushrooms, who cares? As long as it would have a place in an area untouched by man, it's living, and it's colorful, use it and abuse it.
3. No inanimate object-nature-themes. Rocks are a no-no.
4. Vibrant in some form or another. I don't really care if they look like a Goth, if they're just a ray of sunshine wherever they are, consider it acceptable.
5. All sections must be submitted in the form of poetry of some sort (minus free verse; basically, it has to rhyme). That isn't to say you have to stick to one form of poetry for the whole character. Go from haiku to limerick if you want.
6. Characters are due by the end of Sunday, May 31st.
