An ice maiden came

An ice maiden came. She sculpted and glazed, transforming the earth into an ice age.. Acres of farmland she chilled with one sneeze. All life stood silenced where ever she breathed.. In one frigid breath she blew all the leaves. They dropped to the ground. Some froze to their trees. She waded thru rivers and streams to entice, and tucked them to bed under layers of ice. Climbed tall mountains, and plummeted them with snow. The ice maiden was pleased with the beauty she bestowed.

Dear Nancy, What a vivid portrayal of winter's arrival! The imagery of the ice maiden sculpting the landscape and breathing life into the wintry scene is both powerful and chilling. Your poem captures the stark beauty and transformative power of winter as it engulfs the land. It leaves me, the reader with a sense of awe at the ice maiden's icy artistry. - Blessings, Daniel

The ethereal beauty and exhilaration emanating from this exquisite phenomenon are truly captivating. The frozen terrain, adorned with delicate ice formations, presents a mesmerizing spectacle. One cannot help but ponder whether this ice maiden gracefully transitions into the arms of Spring as it awakens from its slumber. Nancy, your eloquent prose and imaginative prowess truly shine through in this splendid piece.

A frozen landscape is a beautiful sight. Does this ice maiden move on when it's Spring's turn to awaken? This is well written, Nancy. Love your imagination.
