Notes About The Poem

Ice In the Veins

John Doe enjoys 
Peering through 
A pair of binoculars
From inside his apartment
Daily training them
On unsuspecting people
One day, while scanning outdoors
Taking in the sights
He saw something that made 
His blood run cold
A mysterious stranger
Was spying back at him
Also through binoculars
