Winter Palace

Skaters paradise on ice, excellence through the years,
Each a story with costumes and scenery.

Bright and cheerful, a rainbow on ice,
Eloquent moves, with a streamline effect.

A musical rhapsody traditional and contemporary,
They are like a breath of fresh air.

When you watch them skate,
They mesmerize us with their fine routines.

Pairs elegance could guest,
The synchronicity of their moves.

The moral support they give another,
I like the stories they tell.

Their rapport with the audience exempliary,
They send bouquets of flowers and teddy bears as a thank you.

Some become royalty because they are our favorites and are very accomplished,
They are like royalty on ice, winter palace dreams.
