Best Icy Poems

While I gaze at nightfall through chilled droplets
my musings try to redesign past reveries:
oh those exotic, summer escapades now buried
in gravestones of ice- powdered vapor…
and now the blistering winds return
when a frigid son of Poseidon veils
eve's tableau with ghastly pines
like numb statues macabre and furrowed,

Seasons change

From winter to summer

But in my case

It’s dreaded snow every hour


Is this my fate  to live

What be it be

Frozen flowers in a garden 

by a glass of blue sea


Strolling in the park 

No children are laughing and singing

Lovers hand in hand

No sound of...

As I walked along the cold, windy street,
I saw a wisp of smoke in the air,
Drifting and curling, like a ghostly sheet,
A lonely figure, standing there.

At first I thought it was a burning ember,
But as I drew near, I saw it was a cigarette,
A symbol...

It starts with an unforgettable roaring sound,
Like nothing I'd heard before.
There's people and protection all around,
while my feet slide on the cold hard floor.

Armed with only one simple twig, 
And two knives strapped to my feet.
I move forward like a ravenous rig,
Never slowing or missing...

The cold, loud wind reminds me, that I'm warm . . .

You're startin to feel lonely, the guilt is settin in, it's changing,
you're only so strong as you portray, and now it's fading-
into a red bubbling mess, boiling, rearranging
into something new, indestructible and its paying-
for the consequences, this guilt has no sympathy for dating-
whether it's hells...

Icy Carpet

Frozen waterfall
Weaving naked rocky hills
Roots grappled firmly

Frosty froth, falling
perforating blue eddies.
Liquid nitrogen....

Sharp pellets of hail    
angrily slap at the earth                                 ...

Frosty morning scene
Icy crystals scatter beams
Of fiery sunrise...

Trees are glazed and bent.
In silent chill they breathe on
laden down with ice
laced with delicate design.
Winter's majesty unfolds.

Inhospitable stares;

Invisible slickness;

Incandescent beauty

In glacial scenes so fair!

Immense chill on a breeze!

Imbibing an *Icee -

Instant, intense brain-freeze!

* An Icee (or slurpee) is a frozen carbonated drink. If consumed
too quickly it sometimes feels like you get a...

May we be saluted as we stand brave and tall. 
For we do not smile into the face of danger, though we brace ready for the brawl.

What is that, that that I see, it's the 
Dark Angel glaring down upon me.

Hold still my courage tightly...

The red umbrella was the sign
An icy treat would soon be mine
A memory when I was young
When snow cone magic cooled my tongue

A block of ice perched on a cart
A masterpiece, a work of art
The line was long but soon I’d be
Filled with joy and...

The Last Red Rose of Autumn – Second Portrait

The promise of Mother Nature
to come back
after a deep Winter's sleep
under thick white covers
green leaves
colorful blossoms
humming bees
singing birds
in between
newborn red roses
full redolence and true beauty.
