The Wicked Ice QueenA Poem by Paul GerardA wicked Queen has entombed a king in a pillar of ice where he is forced to cosider how his own pride caused him and his people to suffer.
On the edge of nowhere,
With nothing in between. I sit still, as if an island, By a never ending stream. Frozen here I cannot move, A sculpture made of ice. Forever to be encased, Entombed by cold device. I challenged the Ice Queen, Whose powers I had not known. Until too late her magic, Pinned me to this icy throne. Condemned to now forever stare, Across the icy stream. And with dreadful heartache now, I hear their endless screams. For because of pride I freeze, No tear forms in my eyes. And cursed be that wicked witch, Whose mantle do I now despise. In prayer I do repent of this, The pride which led me here. So sorry for this awful state, My soul doth fate now steer. And if I ever get the chance, --If miracle permits-- I’ll crush her every bone, And cast her into Satan’s pit. © 2011 Paul Gerard |
