    the Art Muse may not be real big by himself - with the shadow added he is really double in size - and twice as cute too! The bear and Raggedy Ann are quite an artistic couple...I hope for a warm day in paradise!

    Love the little rabbit sketch!
    Is that your little doggie's magic carpet. :) So cute!
    I've never heard of one line Haiku but I like yours a lot! We had snow today so I don't think we'll be flying kites anytime soon.

    I love your one line haiku. I looked up the rules and if I am right it doesn't seem to matter how many syllables are used. Do you have a formula for one liners?
