  1. Amy fished for magic gifts: packages of frozen hopes. For once given, as hope thaws, the fears of those she loved would melt into a puddle

    I'll fish for a wish wrapped up in a box,
    To send to my friend, the arctic fox!

  5. She didn't mind the snowflakes,
    She didn't feel the cold:
    She longed to have a chance to catch
    a brand new friend to hold.

    Hi,
    This is from me, I love Demelsa's work!

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.
