Comment from Liz O'Neill
This makes me think of Robert Frost's Fire and Ice. "I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice."
Ice is a dynamic topic to present. You take us from the simple facts of ice to the more ethereal tones. You use nice alliteration and allusion. You also have used some strong word play. Great work

Thanks Liz this was a lot of fun to write!
Human beings mostly at an elderly age despised cold temperatures!
They also despise the extremely hot!
It's a hard choice when you think about would you rather freeze to death or go to Hell?
Thanks for reviewing and have a blessed Sabbath Sunday!

I a, that person. I have a small window of comfortable temperature. No colder than 65 ...where I worked, it was always 60,winter or summer. Then the limit of heat is 74. When I was in the convent,there were pipes going through my room for the floor above me. I had them take my radiator out. It would get to 90 at night even with out my radiator. I had a big fan in the window letting cold air in or hot air out.
I think the whimpery cold is going to break me this winter. I don't remember it being this cold for so long here in Vermont. More climate change.

The Farmer's Almanac predicted a 51% chance at in the state of New Jersey we would see one of the most severe Winters in many many years.
The coldest it's gone down so I believe is 14°, but it's going to get worse.
We've already had snowfall three times the first time it was 14 inches.
I started waiting for the bus at 10:00 in the morning but that bus would never come they couldn't find a driver for New Jersey Transit from Lakewood to Atlantic City.
Three and a half hours I waited in and out of the cold the Dynasty Diner.
I previously arranged for Monday and Tuesday comp rooms at the Ocean Club Hotel Casino in Atlantic City New Jersey.
After the time for that bus was changed three times because I found out earlier they had two telephone poles down and the town of barnegat about maybe 10 miles away I gave up.
I had been out in the blizzard for 45 minutes I must have counted 150 snow plow vehicles besides various police vehicles and emergency.
I was almost back home walking in the cold cuz I had to pee when the bus finally came!
So I grabbed it got to Atlantic City but the jitney's weren't running so I had a two and a half mile walk through the mess to get to my Casino.
I was smart though I got off the street where it was bad enough to the boardwalk.
I was so miserable and cold I stopped at Hard Rock Hotel first but lost $80.
It was about another 20 minute walk to get to my motel where I settled in with a beautiful room.
I lost all my money except for the $20 bill which I said they're not getting that that's for my meal.
Afterwards I decided to retire but I woke up 4:00 in the morning.
I had no money but a whole another day to be there and decided to leave.
I chose the warmth of my apartment over that messy weather in Atlantic City.
As again I was walking it was now frozen over instead of a wet slushy mess.
I was extremely lucky lucky I did not slip and fall and hurt myself.

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
I enjoyed this red very much. The words that touched me the most were:
Frozen Ability with Hardened Effect.
Knighted in the Night Extreme.
An Encrusted Slice of Just Right?
To me these lines encompass the essence of the poem.

Thanks Katherine and this was a lot of fun to write!
Yes, especially with trying to come up with proper Adjective and Objective Descriptive Measures.

Why thank you for stopping by.
And, this was fun to write.
To come up with the proper Adjective and Objective Descriptive Measures.
It was just a matter of thinking of being cold!
