From the eaves they dangle
Melting to form a point;
Sharp like teeth,
Biting cold.
Yet even more pronounced
Is the blue sky promise
Of a warmer, dryer day ahead.

Very nice! So optimistic...
ReplyDeleteThanks! With a name like Hope, it's hard not to be a positive person :)
Delete"Cool." - hahaha!
ReplyDeleteI love icicles! They make me happy that I am warm and cozy inside the house. They make me happiest when they are dripping and telling me it is getting warmer outside.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great way of looking at it! I do think they're pretty, but am really relieved that the majority of them are gone now (seriously, in the last couple of hours. . .poof!) It's warming up and we're looking at highs at almost 70 for this weekend. Yay! Before long, I'll be back at the beach :)
DeleteAll I can say is WOW. This is great. xox jean
ReplyDeleteThanks Jean! I'm just glad it's starting to warm up at last. :)
DeleteWow! That looks like Minnesota, too! Great photo!
ReplyDeleteI live in Panama City Beach and all my icicles are gone, YEAH and looking forward to warmer weather. But I glad you got a photo of them.
ReplyDeleteMary, Wasn't it great to see those things drip away!? I'm so happy it's going to be warmer today too. Thanks so much for popping in!
DeleteLike craggy stalactites, I love the imagery of the 'biting cold' as they look like dinosaur teeth. But the promise of warmer days ahead. They are coming, right? Thanks for joining me in the 30 Words Challenge! Enjoy the day. Erin
ReplyDeleteLovely photo was writing. I love the contrast of the icicles with the clear blue sky.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda! I thought so too. After days of just white clouds and no sun, no blue I was beyond thrilled to see nothing but blue sky yesterday!
DeleteIt was bliss and it's even better today. :)
made me smile and made the thought of shoveling snow and defrosting my car a bit more bearable :-)
ReplyDeletehappy weekend!
Ana, I'm so glad I got a smile out of you but so sorry you have to deal with the snow. It's all gone here now (and I'm not trying to rub that fact in at all.) I have a great appreciation for what y'all in the North have to go through as I couldn't bear it for months on end. Stay warm!
DeleteBlue sky promise. I really like that line. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen! I used to fancy myself a poet, it's been a while though. This exercise is a great prompt to get those skills flowing again.
DeleteGreat photo. I love the contrast between the blue sky and black shadow of the eave. And in between is the ice.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for that promise to take in effect!
ReplyDeleteI know, right!? This cold is killing us even way down here. You stay warm.
