Welcome Minesweep Goddess! Welcome Bossel! Have I missed anyone? Please excuse me as I am about to fall asleep at keyboard 
. Would you, or anyone else who hasn't had one yet, like a link to your page from the Haiku Challenge page? (I haven't really been away, guys, just a little unhappy, and not always able to keep up with everything 
, but am glad to see you're all having fun! 
)
So being Beatles-challenged 
, I'll go with Unicorns
Step softly, for in
the shadows, magic gallops
beautiful, untamed.
I LIKED the X-files one, Aurora!
