Swanly Fawn Upon a Pond

Skating so serene like a splendid, sliding swan
upon an ice pond, softly as a spry sunrise at dawn,
Shawn saw some splendid surprise, seemed soft as sleek chiffon,
a sight so shrouded, light as snow white, a striking, sprightly fawn.

What a lovely image of the skater and the deer you created, Juliet. And I love the alliteration! You took me back to my childhood days skating on Lake Messer in Matawan. Some of my happiest moments were there. This delightful read goes to my faves. Hugs, Carolyn

Thanks, Kai. Just playing around with sounds. One time I saw a baby albino deer in the woods. I'm told they're super rare.
