Arctic Winter Whispers

Harp Seals are kissing
On blankets of downy white
After frolicking

Prankish penguins glide
Indulging in playful snow
Wearing tuxedos

Pods of Killer Whales
Averting Goliath burgs
Sailing gracefully

Snowflakes falling down
Wolf’s eyes glimmer spying prey
Hare searching escape

Wow, excellent piece and beautiful and visual imagery!! This is easily one of my favorite poem on this board(besides Marge's sweet on of course).

Marina,

I really enjoyed these, they brought a smile to my face. These are so precious and so well-penned. The first two are delightful and are my favourites

Take care,
Melissa
