Frozen Sea

A frozen sea cracks

Undulations of cold ice

A whip strike resounds

John, you must be a painter, 'cause you have created three lines of picturesque poetry in surround sound! My best to you, chuck

I can't trace a stick drawing. Perhaps that is why I try to splash the poems with the paint of words. Thanks, Chuck. JH

Yes, it is a striking sound. I heard this once on the frozen canals of St. Petersburg (Russia). JH

Thanks. Some don't work; but it's great when they do seem to work. JH
