Winter Ice Dance

I can handle Canada's falling snow, but ice freezing on the ground brings me woe; often, spin a whirling dance, and on my toes- clumsy prance; making for a very comical show ! _______________________ December 28, 2020 Poetry/Limerick/Winter Ice Dance Copyright Protected, ID 12-1316-995-28 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Winter Snow or Ice Limerick sponsor, Tania Kitchin, Judged 01/08/21 Third Place

By the way how do people manage not to get hurt so much in the areas where there is so much snow and ice? Congrats on this winner. Sara

Sara, thanks for visiting, and for the congrats, well there are a lot of people with broken legs, ankles, arms or worse or just bruised, and many wear ice chains on their boots(not attractive but work) and some just stay home when it is icy if they can _Constance

Constance, Wishing you the very, very best with this humorous yet lyrical Limerick that flows so effortlessly. I’m flattered by your comments on my “Did Anybody Notice” poem. Your reviews of my works are always specific which means I can learn immensely from them. Best Wishes Howard

Howard, thanks for visiting happy you like my limerick, I always think I cannot be funny because my usual writes are so serious but then I surprise myself. I was delighted to read your poem today and comment _Constance
