{For Icebox} The Warmth of ICE The season of warmth has unleashed it’s new glow And melted divisive high drifts of white snow The water falls sweetly by nature’s device This is the warmth and the beauty of ICE Grand is the desert in lavender hue Ruby red sunsets that melt royal blue One glance in a lifetime would surely suffice To know of the depth and the glory of ICE Eyes can unfold more than they can contain With words that spill out their poetic refrain The splendors unseen upon pages of spice In ink that was drawn from the wellspring of ICE Only from ice can the earth come alive For ice was incarnate of river and tide And all flowing waters will ride up and freeze And in April will nurture the flowers and trees ICE sent the tempest from dark daunting skies The lilac and dogwood looked into his eyes And saw one adoring of pure and precise Atonement that’s brought from the seasons of life ICE is not silent, though silence becomes The sound of the phrases, the seasonal strum Intrinsically pouring from the eyes that entice This is the warmth and the beauty of ICE Elizabeth Santos |

Such a treat to read you twice in one day. I read you and think, "I've so much to learn," and yet somehow I don't think what you have can be learned. You are a joy Liz Santos. |

You are excellent at these character study poems Liz. The first time I saw his photo I thought how unlike "ice" his eyes were, and you show the real man behind the name in this. LOL, you would have a devil of a job describing me now wouldn't you? And, no that is not a challenge! Love ya lady. Karen, what Liz has is not "catchy" trust me, I have seen this lady in action and she can write a sonnet while in the shower, driving, or making dinner!  |

ICE is not silent, though silence becomes The sound of the phrases, the seasonal strum Intrinsically pouring from the eyes that entice This is the warmth and the beauty of ICE Liz, you are truly a writer of heart. You see inside whatever or whoever you write of. Thank you for sharing your insight with us.  Hugs  Ethel |
