These poems, inspired by "Fire and Ice", by Robert Frost
were written by my yod 5-pt. class.
Jane Berman - djberman(at)nir-ezion(dot)co(dot)il
Fire and ice in nature, two extremes,
Like life and death it seems.
If emotion could kill,
Then life would be still.
Being caught in ardent desire,
Is being in hell that's all fire.
Many a destruction is caused by
Emotion, love, fire and desire.
Ice can destroy just like fire,
What is life if there is no love and desire?
There is a lot of destructive power in ice,
Being cold and aloof drains life of any spice.
If I had my way for the world to end in fire or ice,
It seems that ice would be the compromise.
by Orli A.
The Thin String
There are two radical forces in the world--fire and ice,
They're so different and far from each other,
They're connected to each other by a thin string
that's called hate!
The hatred, the anger, the madness
All these feelings lead to violence, terror when
in their cold, frozen heart
There's bitterness because each side feels betrayed,
rejection and bitterness from the other.
Then WHY? Why does that happen?!
Can't the string be----love?!
Is it so hard to accept and love the other? To give some respect?
by Hemdat K. and Zohar M.
