SPARKLING LIKE CRYSTAL
by Rav`N

Gleaming, glittering, sparkling like crystal,
Weaving, curling, curving a path,
Slippery and dripping, melting in the sun,
An ice-slide hanging over central park.
Gleaming, glittering, sparkling like crystal,
Angles and planes human in form,
Frozen solid, a fire burning inside,
The man of ice, riding the ice slide.
Gleaming, glittering, sparkling like crystal,
Cutting, piercing, unending barrage,
Razor sharp shards hailing from all around,
An ice storm strikes at the Iceman's command.
Gleaming, glittering, sparkling like crystal,
Breathing, thinking screams to a stop,
Locked in time, in biting cold agony,
Mutant opponent frozen in a block.
Gleaming, glittering, sparkling like crystal,
Glowing, twinking, pearly and white,
Quipping and joking but nobody's chump,
The Iceman stands grinning in triumph.

Witch of Weather, Man of Ice
by Rav`N

I ride the wind over land and sea,
Thunder and lightning obey me,
I wield the storm to suit my fancy,
The forces of nature are tools to me.
I can hold your breath in my hand,
I can freeze your blood with a glance,
Break my limbs, I'll grow them back,
Frosty the Snowman don't stand a chance.
We wield the power of wind and fire
We have the might of ice and water
Tremble before us and we might free you
Repent before us and we might spare you
Kill before us and we will smite you
Fight beside us and we will love you.
She fights just like a warrior,
Amazon born and bred,
With thiefly wiles and godly wisdom,
With maternal compassion she led.
He cracks his jokes and makes his quips
Lighthearted to the core,
But stand beside his friends he will,
Through thick and thin and war.
We wield the power of wind and fire
We have the might of ice and water
Tremble before us and we might free you
Repent before us and we might spare you
Kill before us and we will smite you
Fight beside us and we will love you.
We fight a was against oppression,
We free the innocent from the evil,
We are mutants not homo sapien,
We bear that burden like an anvil.
We wield the power of wind and fire
We have the might of ice and water
Tremble before us and we might free you
Repent before us and we might spare you
Kill before us and we will smite you
Fight beside us and we will love you.
We wield the power of wind and fire
We have the might of ice and water

(Ode) To The X-Men
By Bobby Drake
by way of Rav`N

Warren, buddy,
I don't mean to harp,
But pick one already!
Dove white, razor sharp?
Hank, friend,
Don't be so blue,
This Simba trend,
Isn't for you.
Red, Jean,
Ressurection Queen,
Make Scott green,
Pick Wolverine.
Boss, Scott,
Please loosen up.
Don't burst a clott
I'll never shut up!

Head Up
Iceman's plight by way of Rav`N

A Head!
Reduced to a useless head,
coz my body got blown apart
and apparently I've forgotten
the lessons I've been given
by White Queen and Prosh the ship.
A Head!
A lousy, stinking, mute head!
Carted around in the arms
of Warren Worthington the third,
into battle and to the loo.
I hope he washes his hands too!
A Head!
Just an ice scluptured dumb head.
Then Angel fell in battle,
and with a strange clunking sound
I was nowhere to be found.
Why'd the bird brain have to carry me around?
A Head!
Here I lay, a bodyless head.
Lost and forgotten by my friends.
All our troubles these last two years,
can be traced to one point in time;
when Marvel hired that HACK Austen.
