Iron Poet, Round XII.

[cadhla]

Welcome to the latest round of Iron Poet, the game where you give me three words and I give you a poem. This is an adaptation of a standard writer's workshop activity, and I do not claim the original concept. I just claim to enjoy doing it

Ooh, this is exciting! :)

ice, lucid, symmetry

How about elegiac couplet style? Or really, any kind of couplets.

Cold Now.

[cadhla]

Ice in the garden, shining on the roses,
Symmetry in winter, cold conquers all in its path.

Walk in the winter, lonely in the roses,
Lucid and eternal, cold as the ice on the thorns.

Snow falls in winter, Snow walks forever,
Stories born in frost-fall, cold by the heat of the fire.

Stay in the garden, stay safe forever,
Snow White dared to wander, cold now she waits for the thaw.

Lovely; this captures the quiet eternity that is winter. And I saved before adding... thank you for writing this for me! I will look at the snow outside my window and think of frozen princesses. :)
