Icy 

 Cold

              Ice-covered

       Crystals

         Lustrous

   Earth

                           Spectacle to behold

Acrostics are fun to do and the one above is my own and spells out ICICLES.  I am honored to have a guest on Late Blooms for the first time - my own brother and poet, Ronald Janki.  His poem brings the wonderful spectacle of icicles to life in a different way.  Enjoy!

Jewelled water Sparkling in the rays Transforming the silence

Into quiet motion

Icy flowers Embracing branches…

Icy, Icicle chill Icy, glistening flowers Unseen spirit, unseen will Waiting for the spring showers

I wanted to be a little more creative with this collage. These are the same icicles taken in High Park. The little angel is one sitting in snow on my porch at home.

We can experience words in different ways and this changes our world and our perspectives on the life around us.  Hopefully, “Icicles” has caused you to reflect on the phenomenon that is presented in these images and words.  As a matter of fact, icicles are supposed to be one of the unsolved mysteries of physics.  We won’t get into that here, though - perhaps, in another post.

Hope you enjoyed it all!
