  1. Rabbits making snowmen,
    Piling on the snow.
    Time to add the carrots:
    Where did the third one go?

  2. "You at the back!" came an icy growl. "Don't even think about nibbling my ear!" Had the snow-rabbit just spoken? #W8PAdvent @annadviolet

  3. Carrots for ears
    Coal-lumps for nose
    But, rabbit asks,
    Do snow-bunnies have toes?

  4. 'This is your final warning,' said Sid, 'paws off the carrot mohican.'
    And so began the War of the Snowpunks #W8PAdvent @riewriting

  5. Their teeth grew long in winter, their stomachs empty. Turning on the stranger they reduced him to slush and buttons #W8PAdvent @TYGERTALE

We love comments and really appreciate the time it takes to leave one.
Interesting and pithy reactions to a post are brilliant but we also LOVE it when people just say they've read and enjoyed.
We've made it easy to comment by losing the 'are you human?' test, which means we get a lot of spam. Fortunately, Blogger recognises these, so most, if not all, anonymous comments are deleted without reading.
