i just received this in my comments and LOVE it!
it's by fellow artist poppylocke and really it's just perfect.
i thought i would put it up here......

On the night of the celebration,
The creatures got to wish.
The night-birds called to the ocean
For the bones of long-dead fish.

The octopus wished to fly,
When the stars and moonlight shone,
Like a pink balloon in the sky
To the tune of the night-birds' song.

  3. This is such a gorgeous painting! I love the characters.. especially the birds, and the colours are lovely!
    You said you liked stories people come up with.. I came up with a rhyme when I was looking at your painting, I hope you don't mind!
