Frozen Garden by E.E. Rawls – Day 11 Advent 2017
I stand in the snow
In the garden that has turned into a world of white.

No birds, no singing crickets
Nothing but the tiny bubbling of a frozen creak
As its waters battle to flow beneath the ice.

The Small Dog’s Christmas by Sue Vincent – Day 7 Advent 2017

While I can have chocolate, mince pies and cake,
(And any more naughtiness that I can bake)
She’s not allowed half the best of the stuff,
Which, as a deal, she considers quite tough.
