Icy 

 Cold

              Ice-covered

       Crystals

         Lustrous

   Earth

                           Spectacle to behold

Even in the depth of winter, the evergreen is a reminder that some things are still alive - Lustrous Earth.

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

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

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!
