The Ice Queen

Statuesque burdened bare boughs Hanging icicle daggers Winters haute couture Crowned with a ribbon of frost Shimmering beacon Aligned with blazing night stars Cold bitter sculpture Towering furnace of ice Until the rays warm her heart 14/12/22 Triple New CharlieKu Poetry Contest Sponsor: Charles Messina Howmanysyllables.com

Congrats! Thanks for sharing this. Meanwhile, by God's grace, I greet you with the peace and joy from the Lord toward a prosperous New Year 2023 along this present: "the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23 of the King James Bible). God bless you.
