Vivian Kirkfield hosts a children’s story writing challenge each year. The idea is to come up with a story in 50 words or less.

Beetle Small Talk
By Roberta Gibson
A lightning bug is a beetle,
Flying in the night.
No worries about getting lost
It carries a flash light.
Gently touch a milkweed beetle,
It will give a squeak.
Bet you didn’t know an insect
So very small could speak.
