Recipe For Snowflakes

By Gail, age 11


A cup of cultivated crystals,
Six shining sparkles,
Eleven everwhite eggshells,
a scoop of sequiny seashells,
Twenty true teardrops,
Seven shimmery silk threads,
A pint of perfect pureness,
A fistful of faithful friendship,
and
Filtered fairy dust.

Mildly mix first four and set aside.
Barley blend next four, for five minutes.
Fold in fairy dust while stirring slowly.
Rapidly combine both bowls.
Cut with cutters and chill for fourteen minutes.
Sprinkle into the sky.
