Ice; The Ice Storm of 1998; Ice Storm '98

Ice Written By Tiffiny McCollett and Ashley Boerner
Ice thickly covered every little branch and glittered in the sun like a million diamonds.
Ice comes and stays, ready to melt from the sun rays.
Ice is sticking to trees like glue, CMP works even they got the flu.
Ice has left us with an immense amount of tangled trees, but we came closer together happiness does unfreeze.


Crashing 1998 Written By Sam Gilbert
Great ice, Great weight of ice, isn’t very nice.
Crackle and crash, the ice comes down, down with a crash, a crash, a smash.
Down with the ice of ’98 and summer heat that crept in late, ice of blue, ice of silver, hit the silent earth, that solemn night.


Ice Storm '98 Written by Amber Bell
Houses were covered in ice
Freezing rain falls and falls again
The storm continues
Everything is frozen
Trees fall, the ice melts
You can hear nothing, just silent
After 3 days of wind and rain it is over finally over
Clean up is a hassle but it has to happen
