Fire And Ice (Picture Prompt)

Painting by Bill Martin ~ Fire and Ice

I wrote a poem this morning about fire and ice and found this picture and then someone suggested it would be a great contest. So here it is. Opposites seem to attract in many different relationships of love and friendship. Sometimes with wonderful results and other times rather disaterous endings. Take the prompt where ever your muse wanders. Make it happy or sad. I hope to get some wonderful entries as I always do. Thank you and take care, Sandy

Rules,
1. No chat talk or cursing
2. No erotica (sensual is fine)
3. Rhyme or Free Verse
4. Any length or form
5. Have fun!!

    Fire And Ice

    I think I'll pass on this one. I once wrote a poem called Fire And Ice, but after reading that some publishers wont publish poems that have been online, I think it best, if I don't have it on this stie.
