The Figure Skater
From the doldrums of winter,
Comes this tale I tell,
A day like no other,
The story of amour and great rapture.
A legend now In lore,

Rising most certainly like a Phoenix.
So graceful,
So full of splendor,
Elegant and regal,
Tall and mysterious,
Perhaps Egyptian like Cleopatra.
An exhilarating smile to see,
Her eyes the gateway to a
Mischievous imagination,
Her curvaceous body
Twisting and turning,
With a subtle gyration,
Slowly moving across the ice,
For there were many to see,
Jealousy would
Soon reign supreme,
For here was this
Figure skating beauty,
Whose lust and love
'Twas
Only for me.

A
Beautiful movement I see
Rehearsal this couldn't be
Out of nowhere impromptu
Improvise a dancer has to
By the lake it mesmerizes
THE COLUMBINE
You lure me, first of all, by being bright:
your lavender-pink petals seize my eye
with their smooth, radiant
