"You told me I could never turn you cold, but you should know that sometimes it snows in Texas." Just five lines- one sentence, all it takes to get Kayla Markwell's message in the amazingly eye opening "A letter to Icy." We've all had the situation- either you get out of a friendship, realationship or whatever, you resent  or despise a person. They think they're better than you or they're more popular... Been there! Done that! Markwell makes it clear to whom she's writing to. The icy, the cold, the mean, the haters- people who everyone has had the unfortunatety of stumbling across. This poem is telling these people "You think you're so cool, but don't get ahead of yourself because I will get you..."
           The poet uses a beautiful metaphor of ice and snow to depict personality traits, but also uses Texas as an example. You know, they say "Don't mess with Texas" , but those cold hard egoes need to be messed with just like snow messes with Texas. Overall I think that Katla Markwell's poem "A Letter to Icy" is unusual because it directly comes out for the people who have hurt her. It is really well written and makes the reader think.
