wrapping hides
I'm backing off the punctuation, etc. for today--yesterday's v.1 and v.2 got about equal votes--and focusing on the word instead. I've chosen Linda's hides because there are still quite a few days and words to go and it doesn't seem time yet to reveal any surprises. I also like the way "hides" fits into a rhythm that just reading the two-word lines creates, and the h of "hides" together with the h of "happy."
I did wish there was a word that combined the senses of crinkling and hiding--I think the poem could benefit now from some more "sensory details," as we say in the classroom.

LOL you are so adroit in fishing for good words! How about "scrunchy" used as an adverb/adjective?
