Fair to middlin' of nowhere

Even in that coldest
the sun did shine.
When the wind was still,
warmth came weeping
tears from ice.
Blinding brilliance frozen
into long daggers
of crystalline commemoratives.
The prism’s purloined hues
danced on beaming rays
and shimmered upon
a sky that appeared
endlessly blue.

Yes, this does sound familiar.  You write about the wind so vividly as it caresses the ice tears. And the beaming rays against the sky so blue. Excellent!

Thanks Jerry! I ran across it and didn't remember it and thought it was pretty good (I was surprised I wrote it) It seemed fitting so I ran it up the flag pole again!

I'm glad you ran it up that flag pole the second time, I have a feeling it impacted me more the second time around, which happens frequently doesn't it? Yes it is good, and no you shouldn't be surprised you wrote it, you are a damn fine poet.

Cool, clear and sharp at the tip. Nice work here.

Touch, but don't look

Thanks Jack, I'm partial to that line myself
