GLACIER IN CINQUAIN ice witch her blue blood filled the crevices of earth till now she kept her mother young face frozen in clear glass beauty in spring long white tresses fell in avalanches the great blanched wings of some bird of prey – seas foaming with silver livid like the glacier two syllables, then one soon to become nothing where will the mountain maiden hide when gas absorbs her core no rage like a woman scorned – imagine flooded fields pointing finger rafters accuse the grumbling sky too late beach lashed by storm raiders men and boats tossed like toys losses uncounted before the cavalcade of frothing horses rides out again glacier now tiny in her grotto – mere after- thought – sliver of ice dagger in the soft heart of earth |

I am not really sure about the science (or the politics), but this poem of yours is the real thing. Good imagery imho, and good communication of emotions, too. Yours Truly will read like some trite academic in saying: "I appreciate that the artist has worked in a regular, traditional form", but it is so much the truth. A very good read, thanks! |
