Sigrid Ermine Poet Free verse

Harpoon Heart

Innacurate mariner's spear

Molests sand, sending
reprisal's quiet return

wrath of a once in seventy 
year storm
Wounds sailor in scorn 

Misguided barbed harpoon 
missiles silt, shore bound

Beasts swim by... 
Breaching, phallic 

Burrowed harpoon
breathes in between
spaces grains give

Tide brings drink
 - Salty stew of recourse
-  rubs sins' reveal
Altered memories 
can mingle with blood's dissolved
culmination 

Persuasion picks apart iron
Dagger's gradual horizontal 

rusts as a Christmas tree
spruce in nasal cavity

Flavour seasons meat 
for next festive season

Howard Kerr August 26, 2020 at 1:31 AM Sigrid, A riveting odyssey of imaginative lines. Your elaborate metaphors dance across the eyes of the reader. Perfect PS I welcome all comments, feedback, critiques and reviews of my work. Under no circumstances did I object to your crystal color query or regard it as inquisitive. Thanks to you I added a clarifying footnote to my entry. Warm Wishes Howard Sigrid Ermine August 26, 2020 at 8:24 AM You are a gentleman, Howard. Isn't this site fascinating?! Almost all can virtually be identified blind via their style (admittedly font sometimes contributes a clue) Poems are like fingerprints!!
