One Day In The Life Of An Ice Age* Poem by elysabeth faslund

One Day In The Life Of An Ice Age*

Rating: 5.0


Ice dancing. Tip-toe. Quiet.
Inlay of pebbles, boulders
Moving slow. Slower. Silence.
Mist. Fog. Trance dream.

Still. Waiting. Ice speaks softly.
Smooth crystal. Satin mirror.
Bed of sleek, snow passages.
Blue reflects blue.

Dome clouds drifting soundlessly.
Day filters through crevices.
Ice silk rifting, then tearing
Into splitting

Shudders. Crashing. Ignited
Slabs sparkling, shattering, then
Thrashing. Cracking. Slow. Slower.
Tense dawn. Quiet.

Your choice of format assimilates a minute-by-minute account of what is happening. Your poems open up a lot for one's imagination as far as what is happening in the nature world.
