A Birth Announcement, SOL#7
Introducing!
Crocus Vernus
On Monday, March 7th, Lafayette Park welcomed their newest addition the family.
Tracy Brosch was quoted as saying, "It's official! Crocus has arrived." It seemed as if she had been waiting patiently for the arrival of this beauty and inspected it thoroughly. It appeared her dogs nodded in unison and baby Crocus also passed the elusive sniff test.
Name: Crocus OMFG It's Almost Spring Vernus
Birth date: Unknown, though discovered 3/7/22
Weight: .300 ounces
Length: 5 inches
Location: corner entrance, Lafayette Square Park *(an entrance we never use, but delightfully, it was street cleaning day and had to park outside of our normal spot by the trash can where we always park because Venus always, always poops immediately)
Time: 8:00 AM Central
Tracy continued to spout quotes about this discovered bundle of joy.
- "Ten little petals, ten perfect stems, fill our hearts with love that overflows."
- "If I am thinking correctly, some new weather is probably, undoubtedly the grandest gift that could ever be."
- "Every spring begins the world again."
Welcome to the world, Crocus Vernus! The wait is finally over! We're thrilled to welcome you.
This was such a delight! From the title to topic surprise, to the humor, and imagery -- I loved every word. We're still waiting for the arrival here in New England!
ReplyDeleteA fun slice, love the birth announcement format and was delighted by the weight category - .300 ounces - what a small bundle of joy.
ReplyDeleteI love it when crocuses bloom! They are so pretty and I love that they Eman spring is coming! And I love how you wrote this as a birth a announcement. So clever.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this clever way of writing!! This would be great to do with a class of students!
ReplyDeleteYou are killing it with this multigenre play! And I enjoy how fun it is with the goofy quotes, dog poop discussion, and Crocus' middle name OMFG It's Almost Spring. Your playful writing is so refreshing -- like spring!
ReplyDeleteThat photo looks like it was cooked up by Brosch. THAT baby needs a real shower.
