It took sixty sprites in all to drag, the bright red cloak the babe’d been swaddled in. Another twenty or so to tow the winch and lift the bab into the wagon. Forty pixies gingerly unwrapped the bab, so all the fae could see, Sweet lyric lips, into the fog emit- soft breaths, deep and soothing- in the shape of a sleeping dragon.
Earlier this week I read a piece entitled, The Oracle Part 4- Adelthryth- by Jen Goldie. One line in particular really blew me away. That line was, “Soft breaths, deep and soothing in the shape of a sleeping dragon.”
I had used this photo years ago as an e-christmas greeting and just thought the words and the photo were too good a match to let the day go by without using them together.
Thank you Jen for the most amazing inspiration..
Merry Christmas to all!
P.S. Is anyone else having trouble pasting text in verse on WordPress? It will not allow me to do it and thus the reformatted text….
This is awesome!

I have had that line in mind all week, and when I went to draw on an old post for the holiday, this photo just lent itself so well. Thank you Sadje. You are always so kind.

Happy holidays 😊
I use Classic text and use preformat to delete the unwanted spacing. After everything is set, I select the paragraph to make it normal.
I hope that makes sense
