crafted from the outside in
detailed with magic
elegant crystal shavings
window canvas gleams rare art

Gracious lady...what a treat this is...if this is what comes from handing you a word to kickstart Annabelle, then I suggest everyone send you a word a day...and our forums will be resplendent with tender tankas, the like of which would all be treasured, such as this...

Thank you, Sissie...

This brings back childhood memories of the art of Jack Frost etched on window panes.  Much enjoyed.

Nightshade,

   It is so good to see you posting again!  This is delightful.  I like how you perceive nature's gift of art.   The artwork you chose to accompany your poem is perfect.  Is it one you created?  It fits the poem like a frame.
