Too Much Ice
Rain yesterday. Last night it froze.
I'm looking at an icicle that is my car, I suppose.
I go out with a scraper and a red, runny nose.
My fingers are tingling and I think I've lost my toes.
I want to start the engine, but I can't open the door.
I scrape at the window. Nope. It stays iced

Icicles
Drip drip go the icicles,
Hanging from the frozen gutter,
Plinking off the bicycles,
Falling with a splutter.
Blip blip go the icicles,
Dripping from their glassy towers,
Twinkling in their endless cycles,
Melting in icy showers.
Crik crik go the icicles,
Freezing in the darkened hours,
Growing beards in icy cycles,
Til come the springtime flowers.
Warmer breezes melting snow,
‘Way goes winter’s chilly freeze,
Dripping go

Honestly I Wont Like It
Could it your fancy tickle:
The fluid you need does trickle;
Legs once free like vehicles
On Stopped Feet of Manacles?
Won’t it up get one’s hackles
That one often tasks tackles
Others’ Wrists not in shackles
For what one down to buckles?
You others tag ‘The Fickle’
Fit only for the sickle;
Expo sure to ridicule:
Lots of in Article
That you know “Just Bicycle”
Swearing

Ice Diamonds
After the flurry
My soul delights
Soft curves before me
Ice cream dreams
Shadows dancing and stretching
Defining infinite frozen sculptures
Ice diamonds
floating through the air
Glistening
Riding the shafts of pale sunlight
Landing on my nose
Blanketing my eyelashes
I capture them on my tongue
A frosty treat
A shiver up my spine
I wiggle my toes awake
Warmth in my belly caresses me
Surreal
This glorious

Enormous Frozen Stalagmite Icicle
my frozen tundra
stalagtite icicle
protected by snow
winter residue
her fantastic confidence
regally standing
solid and secure
overseeing the village
guarding the mountain
winter protects her
carefully keeps her secrets
adding extra strength
she enjoys brief reign
glistening in frozen truth
spying on others
a dazzling glow
many come to worship her
rever her coldness
wishing she could stay
a frosty benefactor
winter creatures hide

The Heart of Winter
Breathless whispers of icicles hang
Across the front porch rails
Erasing all memory of Autumn’s caress
The gentle warmth of a shimmering
Sunlight, beckoning through the
Heartfelt happiness of morning
Dawn that leads into a hope filled
Worship of glorious perfection
Embracing the moment with passion
Capturing love on the winds of promise
Breaking free from all the colors
That reflected hues of serenity so

Insecure, Illuminating Ill-Tempered, Invigorating Icicle I Once Was
I’m stronger than I realize,
I’m not alone
And I’m not a failure
I am focused on the prize -
God’s Kingdom today, though I’m on my own
Feeling like a Jailure
I was brave enough
Life can be quite rough
I was courageous to the touch
Nothing much is happening and such
I was courageous to the touch
Life can be quite rough
I was brave

Melting
Melting
by Michael R. Burch
Entirely, as spring consumes the snow,
the thought of you consumes me: I am found
in rivulets, dissolved to what I know
of former winters’ passions. Underground,
perhaps one slender icicle remains
of what I was before, in some dark cave—
a stalactite, long calcified, now drains
to sodden pools whose milky liquid laves
the colder rock, thus washing something
