Jackie Elston Poet Rhyme

The Ice Sculptor

He Sculpted her from,  a block of ice
       and he had an image, drawn down, it twice

a million ice pleats,  in her dress,  that glowed
      he must carve it slow, must carve it slowwwwww

and the light behind her,  showed no imperfect flaws
      so he sculpt her more, scattered shards,  fell to the floor

and he carved her bodice,  of frozen plumes
      to mimic feathers, that appeared to move

 so up and down,  frozen , round and round
      and just like Artic water, but it had no sound

and strings of ice beads, from her shoulders edge
        her covered garment,  the strands did blend

not once , imagination ,  did ever wavering 
        though her ice cold eyes, had splintered shavings

  so he kept stepping back,  to  view , his work of Art
         sublimation decor, this woman, would never part

but he took too long , in this Art, admired
        for now it melted, for time makes , ice, 
                        ....so very tired.
