Hey I'M Mr Nice, I Mean Ice

Well I originate from way up here
you see these water drops called rain
but when temperatures fall I do appear
for I'm ice, most folks call me a winter pain

You see I freeze into all shapes
now if you hold me I'm really cold
and when you do I'll get impatient
for I melt turn to water, not like gold

In winter all you car drivers hate me
for I form all over your glass
harden fast on the windowpane
needing scrapers to get me off fast

Now I'm not finished with you guys
so to the roads and motorways, I go
making it slippery so can't brake fast
but if you use your sense you go slow

Dangerous I am too on walkways about
in winter old folks can get nasty falls
I cover their ways so to slip and slide
but hey I'm Mr nice(ice) in your mall!

(I have written this poem from the perspective that I am ICE speaking from its personal perspective.)

A very clever poem Gordon and the personification from the ICE point of view is profound. Well penned my friend and be safe. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.

A great personification poem, Gordon. Much of this I have no personal experience with thankfully. I would hate to drive on icy roads. :) Rhonda xx

Ice isn't always bad. I love it in my tea. You express this so well. Ice can be very dangerous. Always be careful. ~ Brandy
