Looking Out From My Arctic Home

Here in the Arctic land here I stay
the coldest climate found anywhere
though in recent years it's warmer
makes one wonder feeling change of air

This brings these humans over here
always click clicking in my direction
you would think I was a real beau
up here all of us feel a reaction

I don't know what these are about
so many dangers around the ocean
predators abound seeking for food
need to be very careful without a doubt

When the winter comes it's bitter
all of us stick together as one
interchanging to protect from the wind
used to it I am as don't have the sun

Well, this is me can you guess?
my colour scheme is black and white
a Penguin I am one of a King
love my country for me it's just right

(Here I am living in my homeland, all very cold and freezing and I am royalty being a King, yea a King Penguin!)

I like the cool but not cold winters. I would love to have penguins running around. I did see some once in the zoo. They were so cute. Enjoy your day........

Hi Sandy, Glad you loved it and glad you're getting it mild, over here storm Dennis has passed hopefully so we've had the worst of it. Have a great day, blessings and hugs, Gordon

Enjoyed your verse Gordon, I must say it's a place I'd love to see. Hopefully the damaging climate change doesn't shrink it any more. Tom
