Icy Tundra

Christina8

The skies are grey in this icy tundra

The ground sparkles with watery glaze

In a place that rarely has sunshine,

My reality is in somewhat of a daze.

 

A bark heard in the distance

Someone's neglecting their dog

While my cat snuggles up to me

Warm and he sleeps like a log

 

A blanket of snow will be on it's way

A dangerous mix....the two

The ice and snow, a perilous mix

Always claims the lives of a few

        A compelling peep into Icy Tundra. So realistic those sparkling cold words that left me shivering - - so sending warm wisps of mild Spring from here to your "blanket of snow" dear Christina.

              Hello Christina!!!
              It's been a while, but I'm so glad that I caught this one!
              I adore this poem, and the vibe that you're creating.
              So many contrasts, and so many images.
              The levity of the snuggling cat, but the gravity of the lives that are claimed. You interweave these ideas so gracefully (so on-brand of you

                      I grew up in the ice and snow and could feel it in the poem. I didn't like it much so moved south. Here I just hear of it and read about it in the news or such poem. Enjoyed it.

                      • Christina8

                        Thank you so much sorenbarrett for your kind review of my poem. Yes, the weather is horrible right now but spring is just around the corner. I HOPE!! Thanks again, Christina
