Analysis of Fire & Ice
Reading poetry to enhance your own,
beguiling
at the least
An intention maybe well inclined,
but it’s bread
without the yeast
Only fire and ice can make the Bard,
to burn and melt
within
Your Muse to christen each child true born,
adoption
—not akin
(Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania: March, 2020)
