Ice Queen - 160


The ice queen couldn’t understand
why people weren’t getting over it.
The real question was,
will they grieve
or remember her ice cold heart
upon her own death?

probably just not the way she had ever hoped you know...i think we tend to remember the extremes longer thatn the luke warm....nice 160 monkey.

No body remembers an ice cold heart after one's death. The moment a person dies, people forget all the negative things about him. You cannot point out one's faults with ease after their death. That is why, whenever someone dies, ppl will always say that so & so was a very nice person. No matter how terrible he/she might have been in their lifetime

Devika Jyothi said...

perhaps she doesn't care a damn about that!

ice cold heart- ever felt the "heat" of that, MM?


wishes,
devika

I'm with Pete, her ice cold heart will always beat in their memories. And I wonder what that says about us.

I’m in and wondering about more here.

I was just curious about what "it" is that the people aren't getting over. Reminds me of Princess Diana's death and the way the royalty there reacted in the beginning. I suppose even an ice queen has someone who cares when they are gone. Mine is up.

"people never remember what you do, but never forget how you made them feel." I don't remember whose quote this is but it's one of my favorites. Great 160. I'm late but working on mine now :)

Caty said...

The icy ones tend to stick around in our hearts - if only because we want to know why we failed to thaw them.

I like these 160's - they pack a lot of punch in so few words. Really neat.

Dianne said...

The picture goes so well with the poem. I know a few people with ice cold hearts.

Deb said...

Wow, I agree with Matty - the photo & poem go great together. I guess it's better to think about the good rather than the ice cold heart of humanity sometimes.
Sometimes, the ice is to protect their own heart from getting hurt.

Everyday Goddess said...

it's a pretty safe bet, thumbs down.

Green-Eyed Momster said...

I wonder where you get the awesome images to go with your awesome posts.

Hope you are happy and well.
