An Ode to Michelle

[Amelia]

A poem in honor of our girl ... Black is her hair, shining and straight, Red is the cord that she wears. Brown are her eyes, flashing and true, Violet are souls that tear. Blue is her dress, an angels pure harp, Ice is the game that she plays. Silver is the medal that she brought home, But Gold is the feeling that stays. I was about to post it in Fan Fiction but decided against it, because it's *all true.* Amelia P.S. For those who choose not to read spoilers: the silver medal comment did not have anything to do with SA, lol!

It's beautiful!!! I luv your banner too!!! Is that a quote from when MK was young???

[Joshua]

Is that close up of Michelle's face in your banner from beginning pose of Lyra at Nagano? I love that picture!

[Googoo]

I like your poem (especially the part about gold)and the MK pictures! BTW, who are the skaters underneath your name??

[Karin]

Jenni & Meno!!! Hahaha... Todd & Sand!!!

[Googoo]

Does not look like them Karin! I thought it was Jayne and Torvill or Chris and Dean!

[Willowdale]

Amelia, I LUV your poem, your banner and your site!! I'm pretty sure you are very talented!! Googoo and Karin, I think the skaters underneath her name are Katia Gordeeva & Sergei G. I've been to Amelia's homepage, and found out she is a great fan of G&G. Love, Willowdale

[Googoo]

Yeah I think WIllowdale is right! I have been to that sight and come to think of it that does look like them!

I'm glad you posted that here instead of BFFF. More people get to see your handy work this way. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[Googoo]

Amelia that banner is so beautiful! Did you make it yourself? I wanted to ask you-- what were some of the comments that MK made about G and G? Thanks!

[Karin]

MK once said that G&G are the most romantic skaters!!!

[Amelia]

I had no idea you guys would react like that to my poem! Or the banner ... or the web site ... lol! Let's see if we can answer the questions ... Karin -- I'm not quite sure who said the quote about Michelle, but it was a female commentator at the 95(?) Worlds. It was the year she was 4th. OoJoshuaoO -- yes, the one of her face is from the begining of Lyra Angelica at Nagano. Googoo, Karin, Willowdale -- the little picture under my name is indeed Katia and Sergei from Moonlight Sonata at Lillehammer. Not Todd and Sand, or Jayne and Torvill, lol!! I think that's all ... Thanks again for your wonderful responses guys! Amelia
