Best Antarctic Poems


Bogomil Cove

Hidden yet rugged
At the bottom of the world 
Cool water flowing
High above Hell’s barren gates
High above ringed deception

Premium Member Frozen Lovers In the Antarctic

Carcasses embroil crystal;
                                     On a cruise ship from Hawaii;
                                In frozen Antarctic anticipated love;
     I'm frozen, slightly frizzed embedded through, the core of your embrace;
                         A sadden voyage doomed within the pathos;
                                  I'm risen as I wait your taste;
                  Frost bitten kiss of delight so inviting frosted and frozen;
                          I will tell you of feelings most interment;
                                          Every syllable I insist;
                      Ice carcass surrounds you I'm feel a bit jealous;
               I will tell your feeling most interment  every syllable I insist;
                      Lost in the land suddenly gloaming in tragedy;
                    Twilight dusk after sunset coupled together in misery;
                                A top a glacier hill we stood embraced
                        Trapped and still frost bitten in the wilderness;
                           I scream aloud of the pain we both shared;
                            But no one can hear, no one is listening;
                 He made a valiant effort fearless and bold unflinching;
                 We were prepare to die, why Oh, why she just cried;
                          As an air of melancholy surrounded them, 
                                   So desolate--I get it, I insist
        The unpredictable condition of the couple frozen to death together
                     On the frozen hills of the Antarctic forevermore;

The Nihilist Penguin

There was once a penguin who thought
That religion and morals were naught,
As he swam in cold water
He thought, "Boy, I oughta...
Do something, but I don't know what.”

The Trans-Antarctic Mountain Range

The cold wind of the Antarctic
Cut any warmth from the sun
We have come to measure the world warming 
That has been melting the ice away 

A satellite had mapped the whole of the continent
And had found something strange in the Trans-Antarctic Mountains
So an expedition was put together from the Mawson Station
I volunteered to be part of the expedition crew

We had flown to the mountains by a Hercules transport plane
And loaded our snow tractors high with provisions
So we set off in our two snow tractors
As the morning sky was lit by a low lying sun

As we neared the Trans-antarctic  Mountain
We could see the snow was melting away from everything
Curiously there were stone structures revealing themselves
These were odd shaped buildings not modern in nature

So we drew lots to see who would go
To explore the stone structures we found
And I drew one of the winners
So I prepared wondering what was in store

We drove to one of the stone buildings
And approached what looked like an entrance 
We walked through into what looked like a laboratory perfectly preserved
There were alien looking contraptions everywhere

We decided not to touch anything until we could have it studied
I noted that there appeared to be some things missing 
We videotaped all we could see in the room
And left it all as we as had found it

On the way out I noticed some footprints in the snow
These footprints led to snow tractor tracks
We quickly radioed base and a drone to seek out the other snow tractor was sent up
We quickly returned to our base 

The drone found the snow tractor after following the tracks
As the camera focused in on the the cabin
We saw that the crew was Chinese and they were armed
And they were heading for an Xi'an Y-20 aeroplane parked in the snow

They stopped at the plane and they stepped out 
Then taking a heavy box out of the tractor
The box was quickly loaded on the plane and the tractor as well
In no time the plane took off and flew away
We reported this incident to Canberra

It was about six months after what was the Antarctic Incident
When reports started to come out of Wuhan in China
Of a new disease that started to spread and kill
I wondered what they had found in the Trans-antarctic Mountain Range.

Antarctic Abyss

moonlight falls 
silent on snow
frozen towering wild turns its face to ancient sea
the ocean, brooding, darkly gazes back
waves crash on rock
ink upon the shore
beneath the endless starry surface
a world of light and wonder
fall and float among the luminescence
down
down
the kingdom of giants wide awake
among deep time and eons
majestic sirens of the fathoms
call to their kin across the stars
Titan, Ceres, Europa, Earth
sisters, cetaceans, sing
Antarctic abyss keeps its secrets
hidden since creation
epoch after epoch
as it was in the beginning
is now
and ever shall be... until
we meet amongst the midnight
in distant days ahead
