15 degrees F ..revision

call open

the jaws of frost

these beautiful

white ancient skates

Gliding on

What you expect


Open the ice rink

Feel the warmth

Of my hand

No gloves needed

Temporary exposure

Drawing gracefully

Dancing in midst of 15 degrees Fahrenheit

The beauty of simplicity rings true throughout this poem. The images speak loudly while only offering glimpses into their purpose in the poem. It is not till reading the second paragraph that the imagery really grabs my attention. From the contrast of cold environment to a warm touch and dance.

I like this poem the combination of a ice rink and warmth coming from it, the correlation with the ice and the skate is cool to.
