I walk through the moonlit wilderness. I see a magnificent flower, in full blossom and at the peak of its beauty, with such a sweet and wonderful scent. Just like the way I see you. My beautiful flower, my moonlit white rose in the dark. With the sweet scent that reminds me of your kindness and your care. And while the flower may whither, you will always be as gorgeous and elegant as the day I fell in love with you. Your eyes will always sparkle like the stars in the sky, and your smile will outshine the moon itself

A golden ray of sunlight shone down upon the honeycomb and out emerged a groggy bumblebee wiping the dew of winter's sleep from his eyes. The sun kissed his cheeks as a grin spread across his face.

"Wake up everyone, it's spring!" he called excitedly and soon the whole colony was awake, rejoicing for the long-awaited change of seasons. They eagerly set off to search for the first blossoms, but met a startling revelation. "No flowers?" There's hardly anything, even the trees were leafless.

"Steve you idiot! Haven't you heard of global warming?" And they went back to sleep.

Fifi the Faerie didn't like the usual sorts of things that faeries like.

Dancing around mushroom circles seemed very silly to her. Flowers were okay - but only if they could be used as materials for pretty clothes. She couldn't care two twigs about anything else.

But she only made the mistake of littering once. Just once.

She'd found a scrap of paper and instead of immediately binning it, Fifi tried to fold it into a hat. It didn't turn out, so she dropped it. An owl happened to see the paper fall and swooped on her position. And ate her.

Its family tradition for the mother to bring her daughter to the beach on the child's fourth birthday. So that's what I did.

Dented cans sat in filth. Broken wine bottles dotted the water.

"Its beautiful here, mommy. Other beaches don't smell as good."

"When your grandmother brought me, we saw a fish."

"A real fish?" She glanced at me with disbelief.

"It was dying."

"Poor fish. Will we see one? I thought they were x-stink."

"They are extinct."

She looked back to the ocean. "Its still beautiful, mommy."

To her, it truly was.

But I could remember something better.

According to my father, my soul tree was born on the same day as me. It stood in a patch of woods near my house. We were babies together, and together grew taller and stronger. When I was young, he explained that we were the same being in different bodies... human to love and travel, and tree for grounding and strength.

We moved when I was a teenager and years passed before I visited again. A subdivision replaced the woods.

I know my father was just telling stories, but it certainly feels like a piece of my soul is gone.

Two fluffy kitties watching the world go by through an open a window. Wishing we could chase butterflies or climb the tree where the birds perch and chirp at us. Such a big beautiful world, sun and clouds in the sky, grass and dirt to roll in! Too bad there is glass between it and us.

Ears perk up, we hear a sound. A familiar feminine voice calling our names. Sliding glass moves, opening the portal to the back yard. We can see the glorious sun warmed dirt! The afternoon lazily spent in the sun. It's good to be us!

Wonder what God said when he made the earth
wish I could see through his beautiful mind
Wonder what he was thinking as he gave birth
To the thing known as mankind.

Wonder how he thought we would see things
Like the Sea rushing over and painting the shore
As well as the trees with there spread out green wings
Did he think we would sell these things at a store

Beautiful things placed all around
Set upon the sky the sea and the ground
Wonder what he thinks now his white clouds grey
Still wounder what he would say

Judges comments: This...was so...hard to judge. There are a couple more I would've loved to give awards to. T_T There were too many good writers to choose from!
