“ice crushed snow”

You must be speaking
of a Sno-cone!


When ice crushes snow
it's the best time 
to make snowballs,
so firm when you throw.


crunching underfoot
she hears sound in still night
ice covered snow


        Joe loved to roll down hills of fresh snow
         He needed no sled, loved free-fall flow
               One night in twilight
            with hill sparkling white,
  Joe's roll stopped when stung by ice shards lurking below.

    I remember snow cones… 😉
    Iced snowballs can leave bruises.
    Hearing silence broken in a winter’s night can be scary…
    And well that limerick… Ouch!! 🙂
