Pink Frost
In pristine white with feathered hair, a 'Swan' I am with graceful flair.
A New Year's Ball, Tchaikovsky's strain, a ballet dream, romantic vein;
I may not dance as light as air, nor twirl, entranced, without a care;
but I can show the best in me, of innocence, borne gracefully.

~ Miscellaneous ~
(My first combined collaboration with my daughter Wendy, who knit the hat, stole, and muff, and repainted the doll face.)
Blue Ice
Blue ice and bubblegum, unicorn tales.
Bright silver jingle bells, pink fingernails.
Lace stockings, go-go boots, blue ribbons fair.
Cold winter rosy cheeks, snow in the air.
Pert little princesses, dreams that come true.
Winter time fantasies, teenage milieu.
