MELT

MELT

Roger A. Davis

Icicles on roof eaves drip
Snowman’s twig arms starting to dip

Smores’ marshmallows and chocolate do their thing
Grilled cheese sandwich does it during cooking

Ice cubes in a drinking cup
Rocks turn to lava when volcanoes erupt

Greenhouse Effect, major news
Earth’s ice caps paying pollution dues

Tar roof of my gym melts black drops
School children bring in snow requiring mops

The wielding of steel is a powerful melt
Yet more so, a hard heart becoming softer than felt
