This poem was composed with the inspiration of my dearest friend and my dearest sister's sister, Skat.

from parents' great love Blizz was born with warmest heart conquers cold and dark he wasn’t suckled he loved iced pacifier no baby’s bottle ice vies.. throbs his grips… numbs, writhes…never out of breath strengths spewed…crowned “Ice King." July 22,2013 1.16pm Note: After eating an ice cream from my fridge, I took an "ice cube" and had it melted on my palm. The coldness bit; but, as I gripped, I’d reverie. ;)). The output now is expressed in my poem. I’ve never tried an epic poem before because it’s quite difficult for me; but, I’m trying. I hope I’ve understood and followed the instruction which is haiku count (or is it form?). I hope you’ll enjoy my experimental poem. Thank you sooo much! Have a great day! First Place Contest: Ice King (in epic, only in less than 10 lines for adventure one) Judged: 8/19/2013 Sponsor: Poet Skat

Leonora, neither of us truly did haiku with our haiku form used on ice king, but we got the syllable count right!! I enjoyed the story you produced from your imagery. I couldn't get past the experiment stage to make an epic out of the mere short lines of haiku!! But the assignment WAS to do epic poetry from haiku form and I think you fulfilled the challenge of the contest as best you could!!

Excellent Leonora-- I had to read it twice to get the theme, then saw your foot note and I am really impressed by what you wrote on that experience. Need to try an Epic when I am brave enough:) x
