Or plastic bags. Here where I live, plastic bags are offered first at the grocerers. Tumbling trash vexes me and stains our lovely world. A thought provoking short, Barry Penfold.

Sending you my best today as always, and my best wishes for the upcoming contest.
Sally :))

I am always intrigued with what writers will do with a 50 word challenge. I like that you have chosen the journey of a paper bag in the breeze. It invites us to take it to a place in the reader's imagination. Well done.

That was a little different, Barry. I think you have a good idea for the contest. You have one sentence that is a little wanting, but you should do okay.

    Ha Ha. Thanks Paul and it is certainly is a bit different. I seem to be going through a phase of just doing things a bit differently. Not sure it really helps for competitions but I am more concerned just to see how it is received.
    I hope you are well and keep writing.
    Cheers

A very as they said in the old days psychedelic picture. Pretty cool actually I can like it. I also quite enjoyed your poem very well. Put together lovely poem and a great job you have fulfilled the contest. Rules to perfection and produced a lovely piece of work.

I like your way with words and how you put them together. You? Have a unique style which is all your own quite a well done home? Congratulations I find no issues except to say perhaps turn up the font just a little bit on your texts. It's quite small and some older people might have trouble reading it other than that. It's perfection luck in the contrast and I hope have a great day!

No one wants to tread on that paper bag to stop it in its course. We all know about the flaming paper bag on the doorstep trick.

Nice flash fiction entry. Best of luck in the competition.

    Thanks for taking the time to read and review my story. A little different but I am glad you liked it. Why is it that no one wants to step on the paper bag? Take care and have a great day.

    You've never heard the doorbell ring and opened it to find a burning brown paper bag on your doorstep/porch? Let alone committed this trick as a child yourself? Haha. Must be an Australian thing.
