Welcome back to White Rose of Avalon, my Darlings. For today’s blog post, I am sharing a poem about Wintery Fae!
Dancing with the Ice Fae
by Maranda Wabik
Sparkling of the Icesicles
Bite of the cold Frost
Feel of the Snow upon my face
Ah, this is the call of the Ice Fae
In the cold of Winter
In the dark of Night
In Winter’s Icy Plight
The Ice Fae are here
To abate the fear
For they are the representatives
Of the Ice and Snow
Wanting to remind us how to grow
Enjoying the time spent with loved ones
During the Dark Half of the Year
Will aid in facing the cold weather with little fear
The Ice Fae may seem harsh
But they are here to teach us lessons
About the Cycles of the Seasons
And about valuing those who hold a special place in our hearts
Those from whom we wish not to part!
~I hope you have enjoyed this poem. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

What a beautiful and evocative poem, Maranda! Thank you for sharing it with us today.
“Dancing with the Ice Fae” perfectly captures the dual nature of winter—the “bite of the cold Frost” paired with the “sparkling of the Icesicles.” You’ve done a wonderful job personifying the season as wise, if stern, teachers. The idea that the Ice Fae are not just present in the cold, but are there to “abate the fear” and remind us of growth, cycles, and cherished time with loved ones is truly heartwarming.
I especially love the lines:
“Wanting to remind us how to grow / Enjoying the time spent with loved ones…”
It’s a potent reminder that the “Dark Half of the Year” isn’t about barrenness, but about turning inward, celebrating connection, and gathering strength. The poem transforms the winter landscape from something simply harsh into a sacred, instructional space guided by these ethereal representatives.
It left me feeling thoughtful and appreciative of this season’s unique magic. Thank you for this lovely gift of words, Maranda!🌷🤝
I am so glad to know that you found my poem so moving! As always, thanks for reading and commenting.
You are most welcome Maranda 🤝
