Russell Sivey Poet Rhyme

Ice Serendipity

Even the strongest of ice
Can crack and shatter
It’s only as strong
As the frozen matter

Water exists rigid
Porous and slippery
In great formation
With serendipity

The ice forms on branches
Where it comes and cracks
Bending the limbs down
Making them cling with tracks

A wall is formed
Right before my eyes
Whatever water does
Frozen ice denies

Russell Sivey
