Frost Like Filigree
Frost Like Filigree
Frost filigree, superb can be
as nature weaves crystal delights.
With varied lacey forms, we see
sculpture sparked by lights.
'Neath sun or moon, artwork alights;
the glistened shapes show artfully
presenting joy within our sights.
Ice clings, designs so perfectly,
as each drop freezes and unites
to form creative artistry...
sculpture sparked by lights.
--------
Frost filagree, can't always please
as nature weaves her dark displays;
a fireman works in 'teen degrees
caught in icy-glaze.
As hoses combat the hot blaze
the water flows to quickly freeze.
'Tween flames of fire and ice he stays.
Thick lacey chunks his helmet seize
and turns his gear to frozen phase.
So many nights spent ill at ease
caught in icy-glaze.
--------
Frost filagree presents some scenes
of icy sculptures that bring pain,
for left without heat often means
leaving home again.
Poor tenants live with heat arcane
that fails when wintertime convenes;
so often help is sought in vain.
Abandoned rooms with icy sheens...
frost filagree, a massive plane.
This winter wonder now demeans...
leaving home again.
