My Hand Knows the Way to the Blade

The piece of flat, floating ice is commonly referred to as an 'ice floe'. The hyphen wasn't necessary.

Re 'half a critique': My take on this philosophy would be that it's better to say nothing than almost nothing at all.

I don't want to spend more time than it took to write the poem.

Ok if a floe is ice, what is an ice-floe?

Without the hyphen it becomes the eqivalent of ice ice. Is this intentional?

Also is the lava owning narrator in iceland at the time of this poem? I can't think where else lava owners would run into ice owners.

And you are wrong about the almost nothing. I gave you enough to improve your poem.
