Victoria Anderson-Throop Poet Senryu

Aurora and Avalanche For Contest

Aurora
Arctic prancing prism
      Prize sky borne

          Blue hunts red
Green seeks safety mountains deep
         Ears yearn sound 

   Faithless Beloved
May javelins of light
   Freeze your joy

            Terrible splendor
Ice-pack this savage splintered heart
       Crush my bones to match

    Shout for me
Call down the avalanche
       As you leave

  Echo my name
Bury me in dazzle
     If you dare
