The Icicle by Joe Fierstos
Look at the icicle!
See it perspire!
It melts in the sun
As if it's on fire!
It hangs from the eaves
As a light grasps a wire!
Holds on for life
As its setting is dire!
Ruing the future
Ignoring the prior!
Waiting its turn on the eaves
To expire!

Look at the water!
It's lying in wait!
Of self-condensation
And icicle fate!
