May's challenge was to include the word 'Spring' or 'spring' (plurals allowed) in your one Perfect sentence. Thank you to all who entered and all who voted. Apologies for the delay, but here are the Results:
Joint First Place
In August, we marvelled at the vigour of the runner beans given the spring sowing, and disagreed over the optimum length of the pods and ideal cooking time, and then she told me about her diagnosis.
- Mickleinapickle
And
The first day of spring dawned pink, cold and full of promise, as she stepped out to face the firing squad.
- Robinson Redmond
Both incredibly gut wrenching!
Second Place
I would never be your Spring, your time of hope and promises and the sweet winds of change and chance, but perhaps I would be your Fall.
- Vagabond Heart
Magnificently touching!
Joint Third Place
As winter closed in about them, the children fell into dreamless sleep, and for a thousand years they slumbered, until the stirrings of a weary spring called them back to waking, to face the challenge of a darker world.
- Rich.
And
When the memoir 'My Eternal Spring' landed on my review pile, I steeled myself for the usual hollow promises of perpetual youth, but found instead a riveting chronicle of one woman's forty-year quest to build the perfect mousetrap.
- Aethalope
And
In the springtime of our passion, I devised my escape should the seasons ever change.
- Sedayne
And
They had been carried far on the spring tide, before the unforgiving sea spat them out on the sharp, craggy rocks at the foot of the lighthouse.
- Robinson Redmond
And
You'd be surprised how quickly the sound of a squeaky bed spring can lead to accusations of adultery and a messy divorce.
- Rich.
Magnificently different and clever interpretations of 'spring'!
Congratulations to you all. @AgentPete has magically added your Litbits to your account
