Bovid

[brizig000]

"Bovid lost his earring that his grandfather had given him before he died, in a bramble poison Ivy. They almost gave up their search for the missing golden hoop; but then, an unusual storm had aproached. Bovid saw a bird wing shaped cloud that seemed to swoop down low from high in the sky. The cloud Flapped like a wing when a geyser burst of fresh steam blew up into the air. All the leaves were plucked from the wicked vines and up they went as far as the heavens maybe. Then, droping from the sky and leaving rain drop reminants in their floating mist, an illuminated effervescence of light glowed from a lone drifting feather as it landed onto the earring. Bovid was tickled to find the heirloom with this strange oddity of nature."
"Oh... yes yes. On the United States of America Yellowstone quarter, I see them there."

What a nice tasty little morsel you have presented. It has some editing potential. For example:

an unusual storm had aproached would have more punch if you take out 'had'.

The cloud Flapped like a wing when a geyser burst of fresh steam blew up into the air might read better as:

The cloud flapped like a wing when (suddenly) a geyser of fresh steam (burst/shot/jettisoned) up into the air.

Aside from that, I really like the idea of after an outburst from mother nature, the gold hoop is recovered.

Did you look at the picture of the Yellowstone quarter to see Bovid next to the geyser and his grandfather in the right background?
