Dominion of Ice

• Artist: Adrilaxas
• Description: This was a poem that I more or less came up with on a snow day.
  If I had a reference image, I'd have used something like a cracked skull encased in ice, but I don't know exactly where I'd find it. =.=
  
  EDIT (9/29/09): I shifted around a lot of the lines and helped it flow better. also changed "corpse" tag to "colossus"

This is the Ice Giant:
A frozen Corpse of the once-blue skies,
It wraps its crackling shroud around the trees,
The rocks, the sleeping, both living and dead,
Hoping to break all, so that only still white is left.

Never slowing, never hasting,
Never docile, never raging,
Time, Space, and all manner of Being cease
Where this Colossus dwells.

From its victims it leaches fire and life,
Yet stays still, ever torpid, mummified,
Crystalline and impervious.
Out of reach of mortal hands,
It spreads Its mists of coldness and despair.

Actually, I will get rid of the "zombie" tag. neutral

[Adrilaxas]

I don't think I should change it, but I'll add "corpse" into the tags anyway.
The idea about the Ice Giant in my head was about an undead... demon? Mummy/Vampire? It's hard to put into words the image I wanted to embellish on with five words alone. Hence why I wrote a poem about it. :>

I have nothing personal against this poem but I was looking for zombie poems and this poem isn't about that. just saying. but still 4/5

Very nice wording. You created the imagery well, because I could visualize it all whilst I read smile

Ty, but Marc Antony was ambitious too, and look how he turned out. razz
