Frozen water stacked upon
itself in towers forming
brought to cold and solid shape
by CO2's fierce warming
traceries of frost's design
surround this tiny palace
a Wonderland of sky's debris
fit for any Alice
But when the heat gradient
caused from blocks a gas to vent
and all chill has thus been spent
starts icy spires slow decent
and back to water it all went
