What Can it Be? A Doodle and a Poem by Elizabeth (@bookwyrm37)

-
So a long time ago, long before Creatures gave advice again, but when it had already become warmer, I asked the good humans of the writerly world: 'What do you think this is?'





I got many wonderful responses. But Elizabeth who lives on Twitter and who is known as @bookwyrm37 wrote this poem


Monday, we wash the pancakes
Tuesday, we cook the laundry 
No, wait 
Wednesday, we cake the washpan
Thursday, we launder the cook
Oh bother
Friday, soapcakes float in midair
Saturday, we float too!
Help
Sunday, Mother unravels a sock
to tether us like panbubbles
And well, what more is there to say?

'Just so you know, those who judge you from above, or pop up out on the path in front of you, or even those who carry heavy loads in many directions, know very little of the nature of roads, or dragons' Note: a rambling collective was one of the people who did not make it into the first book .  It is now part of the second book, due to be published on 21 June 2019.  Another note: If you'd like a special doodle in answer to your question, and don't want to wait until the next round, you can order one from the creatures.
