Ice
sculptures,
each stem
glassed
to a rod
of crystal.
Blings
a grey day,
melting to
jewels
that sparkle
the night.

My photos barely capture the sparkle, especially at night…please imagine more. I made up verbs in response to dVerse’s Tuesday Poetics: ‘Verbify me!’.
“Glassed” = fantastic. Also love “blinged.” 🙂

I can definitely imagine the sparkle as we’ve had ice storms here that have left masterpieces. I read “sculptures” in the first line as a verb too, though I don’t know if you meant it to be? I really like “blings a grey day”.
