Winter Waltz

Love On Ice: Last Place

By Gerard DiLeoPublished 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read

Blue is the

Hue of cold

Few are too

True to fold

.

White as the

Bright o'day

Light as the

Flight o'spray

.

Play is the

Way, she picks

Play of the

Day with kicks

.

Her Romance

Performance

Blurred entrance

For distance

.

Vying hot

Trying not

Flying fraught

Buying naught

.

Leaps up high

Keeps aside

Sweeps astride

Steep snow glide

.

Music's on

Muse is gone

Using and re-

'Fusing none

.

Careless moves

Fearless hooves

Prayerless proves

Flair removes

.

Danced too well

Pranced and fell

Trance and spell

Chants the knell

.

Thrice she dips

Icy hips

Twice she slips

Pricely trips
