- Small Hands -

I will define Spring

In the beauty calm your mind

The length of daylight 

Child's inquisitive wonder

Celebrate rainbow colors

I enjoyed this very much - reminds me of time with my grandson. The open mind of a child.

A Beautiful Tanka Anne-Lise. Spring, the world comes to life. The child wonders at life springing forth anew. The picture and words sing together Anne-Lise. Excellent work my friend. A seven and a fave for this little wonder....Vladislav.

even if my hands were small....I would make them explore each and all....crevices of your frame which are so sexy I am sure....with the only possible doubt being if you can endure....all the seductive stress a man such as I would send your way....and if you are a fan of physical pleasure, you don't have to look any other way....I Love this anne....;)
