Gates of Wrath

Treachery, thy name is Ice – dangerous to foe and friends, booby-trap, to be concise, magnetized to bottom ends; enemy to hip and knee, baited ambush to my path, pitfall to the fancy free, enter in the Gates of Wrath.

Treachery, thy name is Ice –

dangerous to foe and friends,

booby-trap, to be concise,

magnetized to bottom ends;

enemy to hip and knee,

baited ambush to my path,

pitfall to the fancy free,

enter in the Gates of Wrath.

    A slick picture & a slick poem!

      🙂 Note to self – avoid that section of the sidewalk for a few days…

    I used to deliver mail and those days of walking around on ice were treacherous! 🙂 Be careful!

      That spot on the sidewalk I am avoiding – we continue to get nasty freezing rain, and it will be slick for a while – and forecast calls for snow on top of it – yikes!!

    Another wow-wonderful poem, Melody–and I’m seriously praying for your safety on the black ice, clear ice, ice covered by snow ice! I hate, despise, detest, deplore and despair when we have ice–I have to walk up/down a little incline to the bank and grocery, so although I stay prayed up all year, I pray through clenched teeth in the winter ice! God bless you big–love, Caddo

      Thank you! It has been raining on and off today, so more ice in the future – plus a wild snowstorm moving in. Should be lots of inspiration coming my way! 🙂

        Oh my goodness! And yes, we poets make use of whatever comes our way–environmentally, or internally, eh?

      2. melodylowes

        Very true!
