Freezing rain
How BEAUTIFUL
Things started to SHINE with ice
But
The f r e e z i n g rain kept coming.
Trees
GLISTENED like glass
And then b r o k e like glass.
Most animals were safe.
Not the pheasants
Their eyes f r o z e shut.
The pheasants.
Sat.
Helplessly.
In the roadside ditches
Blindfolded
With ice.
