Ice King

The Ice King sits upon his throne No queen for him he is alone He looks on earth to find a bride Each girl he has kissed has sadly died His lips so cold their warmth is stole He must find one to quench his soul He is a man and has his needs On others warmth is how he feeds Within the cold there is desire He seeks a woman with ample fire SKAT's Ice King Contest. By; Richard Lamoureux So I put a ice cube in my hand and the thing that struck me initially as well as being cold it felt dry. Also the ice created a burning sensation as it began to melt the feel of the liquid in my palm was more pleasurable I liked how it felt melting between my fingers, almost sensual. The end result ice fire and sensuality.

Wow! For me this is really a great epic in a couplet form my dear friend Richard. You made it extraordinarily well. I also love your brilliant idea & the ending is great...:))) A winner for sure. I swear. Thank you so much for inviting me to read. It's a great honor. However, I'm so sorry for coming late because I'm always super duper busy @ school (Mon-Sat). Excellent piece & Kudos here!

Holding an ice cube is suppose to be a form of distraction when your thoughts are wandering. Sometimes it works and is for sure cold. 1st one here to.Colleen
