On the first day, Bella glances, and says, “Winter Winter. Go away! Let spring shine today!”
But instead, stubborn winter, tucks its white blanket onto the ground.
On the second day, Bella gazes, and says, “Winter Winter. Go away! Let spring shine today!”
But instead, persistent winter, wraps its icy fingers around the branches.
On the third day, Bella gawks, and says, “Winter Winter. Go away! Let spring shine today!”
But instead, pig-headed winter, stomps it’s white footprints onto the rooftops.
On the fourth day, Bella stares, and says, “Winter Winter. Go away! Let spring shine today!”
But instead, hard-headed winter, icecoats salt granules onto the roads.
On the fifth day, Bella studies, and says, “Winter Winter. Go away! Let spring shine today!”
But instead, bull-headed winter, paints the neighborhood iced milk.
On the sixth day, Bella spys, and says, “Winter Winter. Go away! Let spring shine today!”
But instead, strong-willed winter, swirls a dusting of sugar upon the porch steps.
On the seventh day, Bella glimpses, and says, “Winter Winter. Go away! Let spring shine today!”
But instead, determined winter, lassos white flakes onto cars in passing.
On the eighth day, Bella observes, “Winter Winter. Go away! Let spring shine today!”
But instead, tenacious winter, claws its chilly breath across the cotton lawns.
On the ninth day, Bella inspects, “Winter Winter. Go away! Let spring shine today!”
But instead, rebellious winter, dusts baby powder onto mailboxes.
On the tenth day, Bella peers, and says, “Winter Winter. Gone away! Spring is finally here!
Well at least till summer kicks in!”
Hooray! Hooray!

Very child-like. Loved the twist at the end. And the counting. I enjoyed reading this a lot!
thank you Patricia for commenting. I was aiming for child-like :) My daughters name is Bella. She inspired me to write this because she is doing the count down till spring.So far winter is not letting go! lol
Your imagery is beautiful! I especially liked, "lassos white snow flakes onto cars in passing" Good verbs! Well done.
Thank you Heather :)
so happy you enjoyed my spring story!

I really like the idea of a spring countdown!
You have an ideal counting format for the young.
Maybe you could stray a bit less far from the rules at the end, and at least correct the punctuation typo?
What a fun way to do a spring story, Donna! I love the count down! And all your descriptions are wonderful! - tucking the white blanket and leaving footprints on the roof - lovely! Thanks for a great, child-friendly entry, Donna! :)
