Best Avalanche Poems

Avalanche…

It only
Takes one candle’s flame
To drive out
The darkness -
In an avalanche of light
To crush the shadows

It only
Takes one snowflake’s song
To start an
Avalanche 
Of mercy flowing chanting
In sweet melody

It only
Takes one brave flower
To stand up
Against storms
An avalanche of courage
The power of one

It only
Takes one prayer's plea

a quiescent wind

     heralds the goddess of dawn

         ruffles her green gown



               spontaneously

     mesmerised by...

The avalanche comes plunging down
like ocean foam. How white the snow!
King Mount casts off his lofty crown;
the avalanche comes plunging down!
It wraps pines' green and chilled earth's brown
beneath its crushing roaring flow.
The avalanche comes plunging down.
Like ocean foam, how white the snow!

God, are you sending Earth an electron avalanche?
Was supplying sun’s particles part of Creation’s goal?
Is insulation why we have such a cold snowy North Pole?
Is there a light cycle, scientists’ least explored branch?

The suns’ fiery color spectrum hosts continuous acclaim!
Unlike man-made radiances: mercury or sodium...

** A Poetry Avalanche **

Goodness! Lord!
I’m on a roll this morning!
The poetry keeps coming —
  nearly torturing!
My keypad arm and fingers are
  alrady so tired…
It’s as if 
The address of poetry were
On fire!
— With every poem present there
   retreating
From the inspirations...

When Iceland rose majestically,
  A volcanic isle, born of the sea.
  This land, that continents divide,
  A place where fire and ice reside
  And Norsemens sagas, too were born.
  Goddess Aurora, brings the dawn,
  Thor is thunder, God of...

I think I get it:
You want me to swallow your acidic avalanche.
Those billion frantic snow globes
of brilliant-clownish confusion.
You want me to rebuild your burned-out shrines. 
Atop broken blue glacial climbs.
Straddle boulders of swaybacked hope and jagged stones of regret. 
You wish me to inhale the...

In the bitterest of the cold polar north shadows of illusions dwell,
Reflections of light on ice, maybe so or is there more to these
Optical delusions, the natives say creatures hide amongst these
Rocky snow covered hills, and they call forth the power of the
Alpine peaks for...

Winter snowflakes tumble down
hovering over lost years
second chances shall not be
no love left to give

Silence is screaming - gasping
To breathe to survive...

Avalanches

They have  no enemy  

Not an ounce of bloodlust

No regret

No discrimination between evening

Day

Night 

Neither the sun nor the moon


And yet they are so reckless

The nameless mountain, that frightful thing

So quick to pulverise the living

No reaction to the brooding look in the eyes of...

ODE TO THE AVALANCHE QUEEN

Brisk Arctic morning --
Where the giants gods rule
Nordic Dawn Queen ( clad in her fragile ice apparel) 
Twirls and rumbles through the ragged mountains
Seeking the object of her wrath and her affection.

Graceful in bold glory she strides
Mountain top to Mountain top--
Grinding...
