Star in My Yard
By Stephanie Henson Word Count - 137 The change in seasons calls action on this day. Mother Earth is the Director of the show. As Spring transforms into costumes of color, the back deck is my amphitheater. Where I perform art in motion, in an open air outdoor pavilion where scenic sets surround. The spotlight of the sun shines down on me, signaling that I’m ready for my close up, to entertain the animals! An audience of furry friends to watch imaginative recitals and concerts. Dazzling dance moves in the wind, fanning out my tutu as I twirl and whirl. Or I can sing silly songs in the rain while stomping boots to the beat. My world is a stage made of wood beams and staggered stairs. Where I can be whoever I want, in the company of nature– A star in my yard.

You've perfectly captured the image a kid who is lost in the world of their active imagination. My favorite bit: "My world is a stage made of wood beams and staggered stairs.Where I can be whoever I want." Nicely done! Good luck in the contest.
