About this Product
SNOW AND ICE I - 12 Poetry of Nature cards with envelopes, two of each:
Ice People, Scoop City, In the Moment, Fern Pier, Fern Arch, Ice Dance
Sensual, spiritual, and delightfully immersive, these ice crystal macro cards include many stories. From costumed dancers atop a hill, to a snow covered village, to a nude under a waterfall, each image offers a glimpse into the sentience of nature. Every card has a "poem" on the back. The poems for the cards, left to right, top to bottom, are below. The insides of the cards are blank.
Ice People
"Like silent sentinels in a row
you stand, at the edge of the earth, what is you plan? If the sun
hits you too soon, you're through, but until it comes I will follow
you"
Scoop City
"Quaint little buildings all in a row, in the scoop of the valley swirling with snow. the flakes they hover, dance, delight, a shape-shifting show on this winter's night."
In the Moment
“Yes I've turned you upside down,
for that looked like a slide to me. Down you roll to the inverse
summit, and pause, if only, for a moment.”
Fern Pier
“If I were only one inch tall, I'd be
out there on that pier. Dangling my feet and a fishing line, or
taking a nap in the soft sunshine.”
Fern Arch
"At the top of the hill this little one arched, sun on an icy coat shimmer, It clung for just a moment more, and then became a river"
Ice Dance
"Shimmy hips, set it free, across the ice we dance with glee. Costumes different, size shape too, buy you're like me and I'm like you."
*Boxed sets come with a surprise 13th card, mimicking a "baker's Dozen"
A NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING
I would suggest choosing Media Mail in the shipping choices. It doesn't take too long to get, and is much more economical. :)

The Poetry of Nature
Meet the Maker
Hello! Welcome to my shop. My name is Katharine Emlen and I am the writer / photographer behind The Poetry of Nature.
Nothing brings me greater joy than being outside in this beautiful world of ours. Nature, I find, provides the most wonderful canvas, no matter where you look. I have seen tremendous beauty in dying leaves, personalities hanging out in ditches, and remarkable compositions in the most unlikely of places.
Sometimes, I pretend I am an ant, because if I were an ant, those itty-bitty water drops would be pillows to rest upon, that blade of grass a slide, and the dew covered wheat, a jungle gym for play.
I tend to get lost in my imagination and I allow nature be alive...it's not just three drops on a leaf, but a family of travelers, not just a twisted tendril, but a lover's embrace...
When I allow Nature to be sentient, I see all sorts of stories within her. They are the same as ours! Triumph, struggle, comfort, joy....I see it in the twist of a tendril, patterns in ice, the way the water drops sit on the curve of a leaf.
Usually, I stumble upon these stories. And when I do, I hear a poem in my head, so I include it with the image. This is why I call this my work, The Poetry of Nature.
Thank you for stopping by!

How it’s Made
Thank you for visiting my site. :)
Boxed sets come in a white "tuck tab" style box. These are great because the lids don't come apart from their bottoms, they stay snug and secure. On both the front and back of the box is a picture showing what's inside. A quote by Kahlil Gibran is on the inside cover.
"Never forget that the earth delights to feel your bare feet, and the winds long to play with your hair"
Boxed Sets also come with a surprise 13th card, mimicking a "Baker's Dozen"
