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.

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

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