Ice King

ice cube kills warm palm till pain releases tight grip; reminiscent of first date. the wet sting melts slow enters tingling blood flow; loving sensation. Copyright © 2013 By Caryl S. Muzzey Sixth Place Winner ~ "Ice King" Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Skat-Oz Aug. 15, 2013 It made me think of my first date and how his cold hand felt when he first held mine but after a few minutes my blood turned warm with loving sensations.

oh my goodness. To relate this to someone's hand. SO painful it must have been to hold his hand. gives new meaning to "cold as a fish" this is very creative!!
