Kim Rodrigues Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Purple Ice

Purple ice —
Flames of yellow sunshine freezing.
Bittersweet,
From golden scepter’d throne,
Red and orange leaping.

Purple ice —
Snake eyes rolling, impassioned fire.
King’s knife twists
In the ominous woods —
Autumnal bed of d’sire.

Purple ice —
Eruption of molten lava.
Melting
Of immortality,
Poppy-rusting of leaves.

Purple ice —
Once, look’d at emerald
Eyes. Twice.
Never again.  Jealous 
Queen preens against oak cold.

Caren Krutsinger August 16, 2021 at 8:53 AM She looks pretty icy to me "Queen preens against oak cold." I think I can live a long time without meeting her. Kim Rodrigues August 16, 2021 at 4:03 PM LOL…thank you ~

Kenneth Cheney August 12, 2021 at 10:35 AM The Prince may have his purple rain, but the queen has her purple ice. No idea what it all means, but enjoyed your colorful poem. Kim Rodrigues August 12, 2021 at 3:41 PM Meant to show imagery. The final lines show you. Thanks, Kenneth!
