7th grade Nathaniel D sent in this scene that sounds like a description right out of a book. Great writing, Nate! A tender breeze wafted through leaves brighter than jades, providing an otherworldly whisper that echoed off the many limbs of each tree. On a dull, riverside rock turned golden by the rays of the sun, a lark sang a gentle melody complimented by the steady rush of a spring river. Despite the mingling of sunlight and shade, the water remained clear, true to its rhythm and color. Like oiled glass, it could be seen through without any flaws, revealing exotic fish with jeweled scales and various additions to their heads and tails.
Tangled underbrush brighter than the leaves above stopped at the river, yet it swarmed through the forest with an uncanny glee. Enriched with a vibrant assortment of flowers, a blanket of darkness was spread across the lands. Constellations appeared, enlightening the lands below with a distinctive mystique. Countless flowers of a creamy color opened up, revealing beautiful throats that welcomed the cool embrace of the night. As a day set and a day dawned, light coated the land once more.
