Barren

Ruff, barren snow covered mount
Survival on your summit impossible
Except for animals, plants designed
With a plan to live in the extreme
Frozen waste of a beautiful land

This is very nice... Thank you Sara for your kind words - yes my release is in 18 months. I've been incarcerated 6 1/2 years and lost my momma 2 years ago. Your comments and opinion of my work means a lot. Hugs Jimmy

I love the image of the snow-covered mountain, Sara! Even the polar bears are endangered now as the arctic glacier melts. I hope we can find a way to save them as the pole melts periodically throughout history and resurfaces in another place. "Pole Shift" was a very enlightening book written by groups of scientists. Many animals and plants are facing the possibility of extinction. Very thought-provoking and well-penned verse! Love, Carolyn
