David Kavanagh Poet Rhyme

Unbroken

Mountain river less frigid,
frozen waterfalls crack 
Ice spear impales torso
entering through his back 
Perished upon a skewer
preserved neatly stacked 
Unseen inside the ravine 
a glazier starts to attack

Grinding away on boulders 
down gully's, erosion tracks 
His lifeless body still inside 
is gradually turning black 
800 years doing hard time 
ice tomb at last goes slack
Releases a lifelong prisoner
Worse for wear, fully intact

Tom Cunningham November 15, 2021 at 2:50 AM With climate change and global warming I wonder what other secrets the ground will give up. Enjoy your week ahead David.
