I Only Have Ice for You

I think I’ll write a story
about the concept of ice
though I know it will get
a chilly reception

Like icicles and icebergs
that help with its conception.
Glaciers and ice floes
amass for its perception
They foil most any device
no matter what contraption.

Ice cubes and ice blocks
help refrigeration
bags of ice and molds of ice
can cool a celebration.

So if ice leaves you cold
use your imagination
it’s been around since times of old
a boon to every nation.

©July 5, 2004

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

LOL, loved the play one words, and will save this to re-read when the thermometer hits triple digits later this summer.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Virginia,
I only have ice for you! You crack me up. I love how you think. Fun write, again.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Come read to me some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling
And banish the thoughts of day.

Boon, and bane.... This poem triggered little things for me....some quite good, and some bad enough that I will spend the rest of today trying not to think about them.

LOL...I was going to come in and say that when I think or read "ice", I am usually left feeling pretty good!  I enjoyed this, Virginia!
