THE REASON BEING
Crunch colour and lace
Who sets the pace

Just because, angels respond
Not every sylph will be blonde

Falling lilacs when they carpet
dull spaces in their contacts

Break the spell of doldrums
Even now Spring time comes

    "crunch colour" makes me infinitely happy, for some reason. :)

    Wonderful... the blondness of sylphs has to be challenged...

    Here's to a variety of colors, among sylphs and otherwise! Also, I like that word "crunch" at the beginning -- it made me think of the lace as kind of stiff and crispy.

    Spring won't be denied. She will come (even if it's snowing on us).

    I LOVE "not every Symphony will be blonde". Blonde is over rated.

    Oh I'm hoping the lilacs will come soon for us as well. Their scent is just heavenly.

    As like many others i agree - some of the best sylphs are not blonde ;)
