Unicorn of My Soul

Last night was Joanna Samuelson's birthday. Tuesday I happened to be in Toys R'us and found an undoubtedly magical unicorn. There was no question that it was to be placed atop a cake for Joanna. The stars were aligned. Later that night, Angelina named him "Courtney, The Last Unicorn". The very next day, I received an entry for the SendOutCards Poetry Contest entitled, Unicorn of My Soul.

Don't call it a coincidence.

So last night, before the unveiling of the cake, Angelina recited the poem while Viv and I acted it out. I wish I could post the copy of the elusive Unicorn poem...but it wouldn't be fair to the well-intended contestant. Suffice it to say that the protagonist of the poem searches the forest and brambles for a sweet, brief glimpse of the mysterious creature, only to find in the end...that it is, in reality, her soul.
