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.

Panagiota Romios Date: 11/5/2019 4:26:00 PM You brought back to me the terrors of driving in Chicago winter, blizzards and on ice, Great poem and good luck, Panagiota Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 11/5/2019 5:51:00 PM I know you remember that well now.

Rhona Mcferran Date: 11/4/2019 11:08:00 PM 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!) Login to Reply Rhona Mcferran Date: 11/4/2019 11:51:00 PM I thought that had a "Trixie-twist" to it! ;) Caren Krutsinger Date: 11/4/2019 11:45:00 PM 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.

Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 11/4/2019 5:57:00 PM 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. Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 11/4/2019 10:52:00 PM Thank you so much. I have to admit winter driving is not easy, and ice is ever so tricky.
