Ice. The word for the week.
So many types of ice and ways we use it. A great word that led us into themes about life and the world. What does the word ice conjure up for you? How do you see and feel about it?
If you would like to practice your expression, learn a new medium to express your voice and expand your ideas, we’d love you to join in with our discussions.
Next week’s word is ‘entice / enticing’.
Hope to see you there.

Ice in My Veins
Â
I’m not talking about the drug ice.
I’m seeing that time when
Ice in my veins was so emotional
A place where I was uncontrollable
A stupid irrational despicable place
Where I tried to express in my words
In how much I hated this persons
Behaviour and language expressions
Of their lack of comprehension
With a voice I couldn’t control
My anger taking control
My voice filled with anger
I was in a place distressed
Not able to leave the unsaid
Ice was in my voice
Wishing this person to be dead
And so my remorse lives inside instead
For days on end until it is finally bled
Into don’t ever visit this place again
Ice in the veins are best left unsaid

Long Ago
Living on a main road
An ice works around the corner
A piercing sound of huge spinning blades
Cutting the frozen blocks to order
Have fond memories of those times
When a man would arrive at the house
Holding large metal claws
Clutching those blocks of ice
Into the ice chest they would be delivered
Food kept fresh, it would never wither
We could always hear that piercing saw
That all the neighbours would ignore
Walking home from school
Those spinning blades
Spewing out soft snow
Not wanting to be discovered
We mischievously scoop up a handful
Sucking the ice , so refreshing
After a sweltering day at school
Those childhood memories feel so clear
The ice works and the iceman
We’re the real deal
Wonderful to share the changing of the times

Melting Ice
If there was any doubt that the earth is heating up
Take a visit to the glaciersÂ
in NZ
To see the declining levels of ice gracing the mountainsÂ
The chill of such a sightÂ
made my chest feel tightÂ
As the ice melts the sea levels riseÂ
then what?Â
Do we think we can hold back the coast lines?
Perhaps we doÂ
As we continue to pursueÂ
prime sea front coastal propertiesÂ
It is clear to seeÂ
How hard it has come to be
living with and as part of the natural world around usÂ

Can You Cool Me Down?
I texted him at 12:36pm on Monday
I didn’t know how many times
I have checked my phone
11:30 Bedtime
He still didn’t reply
Ok, he would reply to me on Tuesday then
That was his standard response rate
Either on the same day or the next day
He did tell me that he usually takes his time to reply
But Tuesday mid night has passed
I didn’t receive his text, still
Unforgivable
I’ve already told him on last Sunday when we met
I appreciated others who could reply to me quickly
Especially for the ones whom I care
Including him
He knew that
But why he did this to me?
By the end of Wednesday
Still, nothing from him
Yes, I did tell him I didn’t want to be his partner
But I wouldn’t do this to a close friend either though
Did he do this on purpose?
That’s terrible
Anger, sadness and disappointment
A big fire ignited inside my heart
No one has treated me like this before
I deserved to be valued and treated nicely
Thursday morning
He still didn’t text me
Maybe I should just block him
I hated these negative feelings
When I came back from a student event
Two unread messages showing up on my phone, quietly
12:47pm
He texted me
Finally
After taking three whole days
Can these two messages be like ice
Cooling down my furious heart?
I doubted
This fire was so strong that I couldn’t think straight anymore
Breathe
Detach
At least
For now
