One day, Myopic Milo; went slithering across the street; and met with some misfortune; as a car, he tried to greet.

Before he becomes, theatre pray

To score aimed goal

Between frosty cobalt-cliffs, cruise-ship hesitates to pause,
Amidst ice sculptures echoing cheers of spirited applause,
Mesmerizing enthralled sights evincing awe-struck trance,
Lauding vast gelid expanse, hypnotizing eyes of romance.

A cruise to an island
or someplace way up north?
To Alaska I
maybe could sally forth.
