Iceberg

An iceberg beach in southern seas has sunning seals dream warm. An iceberg platform hosts party-penguins primping, flipping in tuxedo-feathered dives. Iceberg lids on ocean pots keep meals of squid and krill in brine. This subconscious analogy may house unknown minds that deeply lurk below. The iceberg stalker now, is a foggy shroud where ship-bones groan. Here, a sunlit castle fades: a midnight-pink covers the silent melting weather-throne.

Creative wordplay throughout dear J. Youve painted imagery using words that flow in such an artistic manner. I especially love “ This subconscious analogy, may house unknown minds that deeply lurk below.“ i can resonate with that when i weave analogies too. Pleasure reading your work. Sending you light

Yes, analogy pins things down sometimes, giving an intangible some shape and feeling. J :)

a fascinating imagery I especially liked The iceberg stalker now, is a foggy shroud where ship-bones groan. I also liked 'melting weather-throne.' Wishing you a splendid evening, hugs, Sara
