Unassuming, humble and colorless, <br />with perfect corners and smooth edges, <br />transparent and with glistening faces, <br />an ice cube welcomes light rays gleefully. <br /> <br />A perfect geometry model <br />with absolute stunning symmetry, <br />an ice cube when held, <br />gets deformed magically. <br /> <br />An ice cube is – <br />a miracle in a tropical desert <br />but a traitor on a hairpin bend. <br />It is perfectly at home in a freezer <br />but frenzied near a burning stove. <br /> <br />An ice cube – <br />a wondrous object of art, <br />is a savior after a painful surgery. <br />Leave it out in the sunshine <br />and see it vanish joyfully. <br /> <br />01 June 2010 <br />6: 00 pm<br /><br />Gita Ashok<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-ice-cube/
