Volcano erupts
burying a continent

With a golden circle of life
People swimming in ice
More sheeps than migrants of fife
Supple, jolly faces speaking so nice

A place so safe to reside
Viking's tongue so rich to hide
Lovers of books, elves in skirmish
Folklore of nooks, shelves of the bookish

Old democracy, noble Parliament
Delightful delicacy, nourishing...

Let us drink to this
Ancient windswept stone, the pearl                  
Of Atlantic sea

Today i went to Iceland
The supermarket not the place
Trying to find a short queue
Turns into a race

Elderly lady at the back
Tries to jump the queue
Those further forward voice their anger
“Hey, we were here before you”

The lady shrugs her shoulders
With two trifles in her hand
Standing ages...

An eruption burst suddenly in Iceland.
Billowing smoke lingers in the air. 
Chaos has now increased on the earth,
Destroying the paths before us.
Everywhere, there is dust and ash.
Flaming, hot, lava bubbles constantly,
Gasping for new openings.
Heavy breathing and clogged pores now
Interrupt our daily flight patterns.
Jesters of nature...

Musa's nose for goal
Super Eagles soaring high-
Iceland is melting

On Emigrating To Iceland After Iraq
 
 
Consider first the Alabama heat.
Consider next the toad
still as a turd on this rural bridge
rupture slung across a stream
where offal floats,
where clumps are belching.
Note the toad, the reeks
that genie up beside it.
Then remember Iceland
and the freshets of its...

I am hiding in my bedroom, scared to death because my pajamas are not new.
I dare not put down my soup bowl because Bowl Licker will grab it up for stew.
I can feel him hiding under my bed, ready to grab it so I keep...

In Iceland we settled down in a comfortable downy bed.
My man’s arm was a comfy spot for me to rest my head.
It’s a light show that you will see only once in your life.
I loved hearing his voice, knowing he now called me wife.

This honeymoon...

Stjornarfoss Falls is a cold fat white spider
clutching an enormous boulder of rocks 
An intimidating landmark near Geirland farm
Southern Iceland, and there is a walking trail

She captivates you off the path, putting you in harm’s way
You do not mean to meander, but you do, thinking...

RIDING ON THE CRACKED ICELAND

Heat up! The cold Attic
On the border to the mountain 
Full grown in Ice, a parking bay?
On the furrow thirsty of warmth 

Iceberg will wait 
Snow! Not this night
Seeing the Knight in cold
Will tell the tale of a fit

Our journey to...

A one-dimensional photo cannot capture the beauty of Aurora Borealis
Mere ordinary everyday words could never explain these feelings.
I stare into God’s Iceland oasis sf blues, greens and purples
My heart and soul want to draw or write of it,
My muse knows better, she is too intimidated...

An overnight flight, I couldn't sleep if I tried
Too excited to see what awaited outside
We stepped off the plane to be covered in rain
For an Icelandic adventure and memories to gain

In a motorhome we went travelling around
Selfoss roaring, geysir erupting from the ground
On golden circle,...

Meet Iceland's purple majesty
Feel the truth of Aurora Borealis 
Her sky imploded explosion 
A gift from the sweetest and kindest angels

Her emerald ribbons
Her aquamarine braids
Iceland's evergreens marvel at her glory
Iceland's treasure shared with the world.

Smiling onto her people
Sharing her truths and innocence willingly.
Optimistic and proud
Feelings...
