Icicles

A Poem by Kate Henderson

Spires of ice 
Hang from my window 
Rainbows encased in frozen water 
Hanging, hanging 
Don't want to be under when it falls 
It may never fall 
Simply drip into oblivion 
When Spring time comes

I loved the imagery in this piece!
"Spires of ice
Hang from my window
Rainbows encased in frozen water"

Love those lines in particular.
Great work here!

You are always welcome.
Reflective, metaphorical and laced with beauty. All in the space of eight lines. I like the imagery too: "spires of ice" and "rainbow encased in frozen water" in particular. And then you delve into the metaphorical realm. Some nameless dread, some trepidation...as if the icicle is a disaster waiting to happen. And ending with the hope that the disaster may never come to pass and that good times may help in erasing the memory of its menace. Quite enchanting. Thank you!
