Icicles

   

 

Icicles     Icicles Excerpt from Mother Nature Icicles shimmer in the light of the sun Glistening like diamonds before winter’s done Wrapping each house in gleaming design Not seeming sinister, hanging in line Suddenly one falls stabbing the ground Its beauty fades, I now look around Which one will fall next and where will it land? Maybe right here, right where I stand I dare not look up, protecting my eyes. Covering my head I noticed their size Once safely inside, I reach for the broom And remove those daggers of stabbing doom Author: Nancy Lee Shrader By nannalee   © 2008 nannalee (All rights reserved)

this is entered in my contest...I absolutly love it and it is in the finals....but the one line that stopped the flow for me was this...

"Which one will fall next and where will it land?
Maybe right where I stand"


if you could equal out the stall I think the poem would flow better
