John Lawless Poet Free verse

Iridescent Icicles

It’s cold
It snowed
I shivered
I shoveled
A Solstice sun
Silently smirked
Iridescent icicles
Licked their lips
A crunch of crusted snow
Battled the scritch of shovels
Headless snowmen
Wandered in wonder
I shoveled
I shivered
It snowed
It’s cold

Michael Tor December 23, 2024 at 2:33 AM It never ends John. We have gotten four feet of snow in the last three weeks. 10 below zero F. today. Getting up to 28 tomorrow. This reminded me of what is coming in the next few months. I now know why people flock to Florida but then you deal with the Hurricanes. You can't win John...

Gershon Wolf December 22, 2024 at 8:36 PM Shiver me timbers and shovel the snow. If X-mas is this cold, the drinks won't even flow!

Jan Allison December 22, 2024 at 2:37 PM I shiver as I read your poem John, I for one am not a fan of the white stuff but it is fun when you are little! hugs Jan xx

Nette Onclaud December 22, 2024 at 1:42 PM This curt, wonderful style mirrors the tingling crust of snow and the bland mood of winter...very nice, john

Trina Layne December 22, 2024 at 11:19 AM Pleasant reading. I smiled at this, but I can't relate. I live in the tropics.

Lin Lane December 22, 2024 at 7:38 AM This one comes full circle... cleverly shoveled. Wrap yourself up and stay warm, John. Boston winters would make me shiver, too!
