Winter Waltz
Love On Ice: Last Place
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

Ingenious pacing and word play, Gerard!
Such a brilliant play of words and rhymes! Loved your poem!
Oh my wife loves ice skating. So creative. Well done!!
Ah, but with this creatively spun poetic twirl, I discern you may have turned on the Fred Astaire shoes once or twice and done the waltz. Not so easy though to know if you've pranced and fallen during dips and slips upon the ice......
