Ice Is Tossing Cars Willy Nilly

The ice swirled around in a dangerous way Tossing cars willy nilly into each other and concrete bridges I marveled at her confidence and power Hoping I was not going to slide into the two wrecked cars in front of me She gave me a tiny spin, showing me that I had no control at all. She grinned at me in her icy blackness It was the last thing I saw. Contest: A Short Metaphorical Poem Sponsor: Bobby May Written 11-4-2019

It is a scary time, and right around the corner for us.

Ice is such a horrible surprise when you least expect it.

You brought back to me the terrors of driving in Chicago winter, blizzards and on ice, Great poem and good luck, Panagiota

Ooooh, I thought for a second she was going to let you off easy.... and then that last line!! *chills* Another terrific "headline" title! (And FAV!)

I thought that had a "Trixie-twist" to it! ;)

I have to say I had no idea it was going to end like that. Trixie is up to her "old tricks" of dashing in and taking my poem away at the last minute.

Hello Caren Krutsinger, winter driving is dangerous especially in the freezing rain when the roads are icy. Sidewalks are dangerous also to walk on. Have a nice evening my friend.

Thank you so much. I have to admit winter driving is not easy, and ice is ever so tricky.
