Jackets of Ice

Everything is covered with ice today Freezing rain has come our way Nature’s growth wearing jackets, but cold Flooding on the way, I am told Jumping raindrops land in puddles on the ground Brittle branches are hanging all around Thoughts so fragile stir in the mind Seeking warmth and dreams to find Heidi Sands 12/21/18

Those ice storms are hard to get through; downed electric lines, no heat; still there's an air of fairyland when trees are wearing their ice jackets. Well penned.

How beautiful those "jackets of ice" look on trees, Heidi. You describe the winter wonderland scene so well! Best wishes for the holidays, Carolyn

Snow is fun but ice is another story, though you do make it sound beautiful in your poem Heidi. I can just imagine the branches of the barren trees with ice on them, I'll bet it is gorgeous.

Yes, ice like this becomes a problem, but yes, it is also pretty. Thank you Chris :)
