Winter rules this artful place, which enchants with its soothing songs that
drift from the music store and its heavenly cocoa that only Percival can
prepare. After your visit to the Temple of Scarlatti, let the beauty of the
landscape, the leopards and the crystal spiders capture you and don't leave for
home until you've bought one of those wonderful paintings to ever remind you of
your trip.

1. Hall of Ice
--------------

Tiles of tinted ice
glimmer and shine bright.
Distant, soft music
fills you with delight.

Centred in the square:
a fountain of ice.
The corners' artists
all sculpted precise.

A lyre, yellow,
a delicate shade:
heart of the fountain,
forever to stay.

A hall of beauty
sets the scene so strong
to crown the temple
where all art belongs.

What better entrance
to the place holy
to the Great Bard,
our Lord Scarlatti?

2. Touch of Winter
------------------

Winter's fingers drip with water
as they linger under eaves.
On the ground a glassy sheet;
his tender touch is soon revealed.

Winter's arms embrace the world,
enfold her in his snowy care.
The shimmering blanket warms our hearts,
and of his love we're made aware.

And very gently winter's breath
will decorate the windows as
he slowly breathes his art into
the frosty flowers on the glass.

3. Collected Caer Haiku
-----------------------

Vellum sheets rustle
Revealing crystal chimes
Magic music store

---------

Frida tints paintings
A mesmerizing vista
Atop the cliff

---------

Pale pink petals bloom
Intoxicating perfume
Snow blossoms

---------

Treading tracks through snow
White lightning on padded paws
Glorious snow leopard

---------

Warm, blanketed walls
Covered in furry clothes
Furrier's store

---------

Glassy tinkling
Fluttering through the air
Crystal butterfly

---------

A plethora of colours
Spinning before your eyes
Paint-splattered kitten
