    A Quick Melt

     ice prisms snag
    afternoon spectrums
    of white winter light
    bend and braid it
    squeegees off a rainbow,
    a Crayola corolla in each
    melting drop suspended
    from the tips of icicles

    Short and simple, yet this piece brings together a gentle image of something almost serene we've all seen a million times.... Well done...

    I started with short little poems, and eventually I took courage and started writing longer ones. This one is an example of how I wrote every poem not that long ago. Sometimes I think I write stronger pieces with fewer words. Thank you for commenting again.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
