Northern Stillness
This Poem is for the referential poetry contest and was inspired by Cotton Pickin' Paradise by Tim Ryerson
Well north of the bustling city
before the crackle of nights winter fires
hard hats, black backs and frozen fingers
shiver starkly in time with their iron picks
sharp strikes upon the icy earth,
shattering the frozen northern stillness
