Iceberg

Imposing eye-catching
Ice glacier rough diamonds
Inconsistent in shape
Intimidates in size
Immense and iconic
Ill-fated by melting
Impaler, ship sinker.

An oldie but goodie here. I almost thought this might be about lettuce! If it were for a good contest!

Well written, Pleaides, Emilia. I painted a full picture of an iceberg with your descriptions. A FAV for my list. I'm going to follow your poetry now and hope you'll follow mine so we can get to know each other. A poet friend to be, Bill

Never trust anything that's too beautiful, you never know what's hiding below the surface.

You have captured the imagery of an iceberg nicely in this Pleiades. The once huge and powerful slowly being melting away.
