A layer of surface ice
turned to broken shards
wind stirs
with every wave
they wash over one another
song a bit like crickets
a bit like glass
fill the day
not a sweet song
yet a perfect one-time symphony:
Improv for Spring

I always want to touch your photos. I want to feel the ice and rub my thumb across the smooth stones. Peace.
ReplyDeleteNice! In an intimidating sort of way. Looks like shattered glass.
ReplyDelete"improv for spring,..." nice phrase! And nice shots of the ice, too!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, and beautiful verse too.
ReplyDeleteThe top picture has a happty little face smiling out from it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I can hear the ice. Almost gone! Have a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteSmiles
This is amazing to me. I've never seen anything like this. It looks like broken glass.
ReplyDeleteOH Tammie! How magical! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're amazing!! You put us right there with you...hugs,
ReplyDeleteA paradigm's tension that has shattered to reform its relationship with the rest of the world.
ReplyDeleteWonderful Pictures Tammie.
I do love your pictures hon!!!! Beautiful - whoo hoo spring is coming!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, and I like the symphony metaphor, too. As eager as I am for spring to rally, I will be a little sad to wait another year for more pictures such asthese.
ReplyDeleteimprov for spring.. makes me smile. lovely photos as always!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, perfect. ;-) I will get round to replying to your email, promise! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a really cool shot.
ReplyDeleteThat ice look like a pile of broken glass. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. Looks like many millions of pieces of crystal.
ReplyDeleteI love those beautiful rocks under the surface of the ice! Happy Wednesday:)
ReplyDeleteIt looks just like broken glass. I wonder if it sounds much like broken bits of shells going back and forth in the waves?
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday,

Wow, incredible pieces of shattered ice! I always get amazed when I visit your blog. Best wishes :)
ReplyDeleteGreat words to go with great photos. I like how you can see the colorful what I think are rocks in the second picture.
ReplyDeleteGreat jive and pictures, Tammie.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful. It is amazing how much it looks like glass. It shows both the fragility and strength of ice.
ReplyDeleteThat is an extraordinary ice formation - wow so beautifully captured by you on film. I like the poem too - the idea of a song a bit like glass. Neat imagery with that!
ReplyDeleteSo sensual. As Butternut Squash said - I want to touch your photos.
ReplyDeleteTamie these are priceless shots! I mean not everyone can moments of nature like that. I love both photos. The upper one looks like a broken glass (naturally beautiful) and the lower photo also reminds me of soft and slow transition.
ReplyDeleteI got the sun on the water in the entry this week. :)
Happy WW!
Very nice post & photos - I love the 2nd photo, it's beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots. I have a fascination with the melting ice, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog!
Cracked and very beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as usual ;)
ReplyDeleteSuperb. I don't think I've ever since ice like that. Happy Spring!
ReplyDeleteThese are again just so beautiful. You have a wonderful talent for taking pictures of ice. You get colours and texture in it so well.
ReplyDeleteHi Tammie,
ReplyDeleteIcicles reminds me of my student days in Canada. My flatmate used to hang up his pair of jeans on the line at the balcony overnight.
The next morning, there were icicles hanging down from the legs of the jeans, He swore they were dry. Those were the days before we knew about dry freeze.
What great pictures and words.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could hear that music. How beautifully you have captured it. How lovely that tune must be.
ReplyDeleteI think I am a bit late to the party...
ReplyDeleteBut hopefully not too late to tell you that they're two stunning photos, of quite a beautiful phenomena :)
I wish scenes like that could appear in the UK...!
