Best Antarctica Poems

a glacial lake
reflecting snow- capped mountains...
mirror image

dripping water
suddenly frozen...
ice sculptures

two penguins
waddling through snow...
happy family
 
antarctica
inside my bed room...
animal planet

Antarctica (Ernest Shackleton tribute)

To your shores came as a pilgrim
Knowing that I wasn’t welcome
All I wanted was to walk
Across your land of ice and rock

But you trapped my ship in ice
Blew cold winds into my eyes
Wanted me to pay the price
Hardship’n’ pain did not suffice

I...

Canines of cold bite down hard

Frigid daggers pierce the bones with reality
Pack ice, pregnant with the dynamism of glacial creep
Screaming and retching as it births its icy progeny to the Southern Ocean
Relentless gales turning billows to tiny needles of ice

That slap the skin to pain...

Remember me? I told you
I’d haunt you when the nights
got lonely as Antarctica.
You ran when I cautioned
how empty it’d leave you 
to be so full of yourself,
when your wine glass overflowed
drowning your daily crossword
like a sardine without gills.
I warned you your hands
would contaminate
the naïve tongues
waiting...

Antarctica
migrated to Africa
Africans welcomed her
at night all hosts  froze
Antarctica laughed!
and the remains?
fossilized!...

Prince of Arctic and Queen of Antarctica

The prince of the north region and the queen of the south region
They have had enemies for ages and ages, and now, oh always
This hatred is antagonistic, a killer mental war. Who is the power?

Who is the owner of...

Life in the depths of Antarctica

Discovery, walk, and walk in this cristal… cold world a fantastic
Amazing snow fields, wonderful landscapes, ice cliffs, feelings
Crunch of snow, music of this land, oh clean air, breath is lives

Penguins, seals, eyewitnesses of the real and ancient nature
A stunning fairytale...

Ice lady

She lives in Antarctica, She is a Beautiful and perfect woman
Amazing virgin, cristal clean personality, I love her, love, love
She waited for me as a guest, her living place is an ice castle

She lives alone there. Only alone, the queen of the ice world

Adelie penguins,
dear little things,

black on your backs, 
black on your wings,

round white tummies
and flat pink feet,

your waddle is funny 
and so is your squeak.

When you dive in the water
and porpoise around,

jumping back on your feet
when you land on the ground,

it’s a penguin I’d be,
if a...

Guadalcanal 2019

Tour boat, ice-blue water.
Five rubber rafts,
12 heroes each, approach
Antarctic 'beach'.

‘Explorer’: 'Look! Penguins!'
Rest chirp approval, focus Canons,
shoot the penguins left and right.
'Great' 'Wonderful'.  

Two hours later, 3-star restaurant,
Tierra del Fuego.
'Global warming...' 
from the end of the table. 

Heads nod assent. Crab dinner,  
good...

Chubby cream grubby against white ice
      Hungry somewhat clumsy polar bear heist
      Hopefully loping over to an asylum of seals
      Tusked beasts bound to become tasty meals

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

The Summer sun of midnight 
           loves the Antarctic sky;
                Her brilliant orange cloak

More graceful in full blubber
than a ballroom dancer,
a seal slides down banisters 
of spiral staircases
in ice-cold currents.

Smiling like a cat,
slipping into water,
swimming down and up,
fat from fishing, 
sunning, sleeping on the rocks,
		I could never push you over.

Seal immovable:
magnificent,  obese.
