Day 11 - Prompt - challenged to write a poem about a very large things. I hope this chance to versify in the praise of the huge gets your poetic engines humming!
Happy writing!
Sculptured icebergs floating in Antarctica
chunks that have broken off from glaciers
formed of fresh water, sliding down to the sea
these huge structures comprise of many acres
only a small fraction is seen above water
the rest reach down into the depths of the ocean
blue colour, like the blue of its surrounding waters
gives an eerie sensation, along with its bobbing motion
from the first snow fall to the final melting in the sea
this iceberg is ancient, formed over 3 centuries ago
travelling slowly through flat ice sheets where seals rest
these amazing icebergs taken by currents as they flow
with the mysteries of nature surprizing us all the time
each iceberg is totally unique in size and sculpture
hidden in these frozen landscapes, far from civilization
creating spectacular scenery and a memorable picture!
