Poem Artwork

Ice Sculptor

 

a sculptor chisels

saws and molds ice into art

that lasts a day

 

glacier's ice nails grate

scratch heavy against bedrock

art that lasts eons

I love ice and snow as a theme in writing, ever since I read James Joyce's, "The Dead." I enjoyed your poem. Suzy Davies.
