What I'm Made Of

Sugar and spice
and all things nice;
red strawberries and
shards of ice.

North wind, south wind,
night bird's call;
prayer and peaches and
folderol.

Some from the heart and
some for show;
wouldn't you, honey,
just love to know.

    Shay--I love the "shards of ice" in the first stanza. It so contrasts with all the "nice" things...

    A lively and just slightly snarky incantation, totally suiting the mercurial but constant Gemini who wrote it. I love the ending.

    So, Geminis are twin turbos, eh? Glynda and Elphada coquettish and dire. My Leo just got lost either way chasing 'em. Hootishly assembled here.
