The Ride Of The Ice Queen The Ice Queen comes a riding on her steed of ice and snow And casts her icy frozen net upon the ground below The beauty of her features hides the ice within her chest Her sparkling silver necklace hangs above her snowy breast The hoof beats of her frigid mount freeze waters as they go Lakes and ponds grow solid and the rivers cease to flow Only fires stoked bright and hot can sway her icy hand As she paints her snowy portrait on the canvas of the land The countryside’s held helpless in her cold and frosty grip Everything is frozen still as she passes on her trip Her arctic beauty holds the earth in wondrous snowy awe And once she’s gone the frigid land begins to slowly thaw The land begins to warm again as farther on she rides Waters start to flow once more as her frigidness subsides Warmth and beauty flourish and the fires no longer burn Hills and valleys green again 'til the Ice Queen's cold return |

This is a wonderful take on the coming of winter. I often think of Jack Frost and Old Man Winter but I seldom think of the Ice Queen as being a part of that equation. Thank you for sharing that idea with me. regards Kethry a good commitee can decimate communication. |

"The Ice Queen comes a riding on her steed of ice and snow And casts her icy frozen net upon the ground below The beauty of her features hides the ice within her chest Her sparkling silver necklace hangs above her snowy breast" Another excellent write Steve! Thanks for sharing! |

The land begins to warm again as farther on she rides Waters start to flow once more as her frigidness subsides Warmth and beauty flourish and the fires no longer burn Hills and valleys green again 'til the Ice Queen's cold return Sigi Sewasham a beautiful poem to make one shiver,seeing and feeling the cold come creeping in.With hope as the message that our Mother Earth will soon be green with warmth again!
