Premium Member Alaska Prospector

Greed overtakes any prospector looking for gold.
Here I am above the Arctic Circle braving the cold.
The bitter freezing is enough to kill anyone young or old.
The river flows under a very thick sheet of ice.
Temperatures at fifty degrees below zero are not nice.
It is late morning, and the sky is a crepuscular gray.
That golden orb called the “sun” has gone away.
I won’t see it again for weeks as it is below the horizon.
That big husky dog with me is much like his timber wolf cousin.
To keep warm, chewing tobacco is of no use.
Anyone can grow a beard from frozen tobacco juice.
It is unlikely the subzero temperatures will get any higher.
Until I get back to camp, I will just have to build a fire.

Based on the short story “To Build a Fire” by the late Jack London

Sleeping In My Car In the Snow

sleeping in my car in the snow
subzero temperature with frozen snot and drool
so dark in the weary silver car that it feels like life is drowning
my mind is an antique thinking that it is a new day, but it is only 3.5 minutes later
the moon has icicles on it
the stars are in a temporary hibernation
the tears refuse to run down anywhere for it prefers the warmth of the tear ducts
my mind is a turtle in a rapid state of constipated confusion thinking that morning has come
however, it is a minute and a half later from the 3.5 minutes later from when i laid my head down
when the next morning comes, i will Praise God and ask Him for Good Health, Comforting Warmth, and Divine Protection
until then, i brave another frosty, frigid night nervously chattering in fear until some form of sleep comes
that is, if said sleep does decide to come

9 reasons well mine


Why should we hire you?

I guarantee this is the only conversation
we will have while I work here

Why did you leave your last job?

The tried to make we ask an 95 year old if she needed insurance for her 2 year deceased husbands PlayStation 5

What is your weakness?

It’s either my concentration or
When did you get there

What are your strengths?

I am great at ignoring questions
Good with Subzero in Mortal
I am amazing at pretending to be sick
I have a brilliant coughing emoji 

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Creating a time machine and coming all the way back here to stop me from taking this job
Are you Sarah Conner

Tell me about your ability to work under pressure?

For let me think
All of my life I have been pulled by a gravitational force and under the same air pressure as everyone in this room.

Yes I can send the next person in no pressure

Describe your management style?

I manage to avoid as many of the management as I can over the whole works hours
and that goes double outside of work

Why have you been unemployed for so long?

Now I am gonna take this in too parts
Unemployed 
Technically I was employed by the government
to look after my terminally ill wife
So long now is that a comparison 
But to what
That mountain that shadows your office
Has hardly stretched
A humming bird has flapped its last
The middle of the ocean has began a wave
So long
This was fun let’s not do it again

What is your dream job?

Well my dream job would be like a little factory
Conveying belts moving clouds of dreams
People forcing them in boxes
While chewing sandwiches
I have a corner office where I get to design them
I am a head dream architect 

Yes I can follow security

Subzero Heart II

Feeling cold as the storm comes in feeling chilly to the bone of jagged ice that will never melt!
All of the winds find a current that change everything so that the heart will burn like a raging fire!
Every storm that's come in like an agent tasked to an object that needs to be smelt!
Every person that comes in has been trying to set my heart as if it was on the pyre!

Upon leaving each section of the dark within that chamber my hands I want but only because they have felt that spark!
Hemingway always spoke about the bell taking its toll when it rang!
Feeling warm after being cold has made me feel similar to the meadowlark!
As I can't see her face and hear her voice my heart lights up with a bang!

The coldness of the freezer does not make me cold as it feels like a calm breeze!
Without your warmth I feel that the winds are trying to they can become solid that starts in my heart in the realm of the spirit!
The temperature is below 0 but it should not become victim to the freeze! 
It is the spirit!

Feeling the coldness of ice and heat of hell!
You have redone it my beautiful Bell!

Premium Member WINTER WONDERLAND


As a tiny tot from pastural Tennessee
My warm world consisted of all things green.
Forests and valleys, rivers and lakes,
Beautiful and flourishing, were all I had seen.

Then my small world expanded.  I travelled far
With my parents to an enchanted place.
Asleep in the car’s back seat, I was aroused
By Mother’s shocked voice, amazement on her face.

Outside, only whiteness piled high as could be,
Were mountains of snow as tall as the trees.
A blizzard of snow stormed all around us,
Engulfed in the cold of a subzero freeze.

The hotel was warm and welcoming, but I was not fazed.
I only wanted to go outside and play in the snow.
My father finally gave in and wrapped me up warmly.
We dove into a wet whiteness as the wind slowed its flow. 

We threw snowballs at each other, and I missed them all.
We built my very first snowman, so handsome and tall.
Daddy showed me how to make an angel in the pristine snow,
Shaping her beautiful wings with a silvery diamond glow.

I will always remember how my view of the world changed.
The happy memories we shared that snowy day will never fade. 
In the white vastness of a winter wonderland, beautiful but daunting,
             Holding Daddy’s strong hand,
I was warm and safe; precious memories made.

Premium Member Zeros-This Couple of Adulterers No Heroes

He was a hero (not)
Infinite frigid cool-frozen cold subzero
A circle infinite ero

Resting on a pillow
Nestled in asleep in the willow
Mouth wide open, open curtains
Has a guest, not his wife and let
He rose,
She rose

Not a Godly man
Steppin out, and  (just got caught)
Now label both them just wearin a sheet
Standin on their feet
in vitro-vitro

Not a good righteous couple neither one of them
Mine hero they’re just zeros
This couple of adulterers no heroes

Arctic Seasoned Disguise

~

Winter breathes in sepia tones along a lonely two lane street
divided amongst the sweeping frozen dunes
now forced into shouldered amnesty

Street lights shiver in snowcapped bonnets
while sidewalks sleep ‘neath blankets of flittering flakes
The air, frigidly crisp…moves of tiny chiffon sparkles dancing

Rooftops, plump and soft, show off their frosted padding 
as evergreens find alabaster fingers tickling their branches
in chilled teasings and frozen dustings

Footprints, once there are gone, covered and recovered again
all evidence of life is erased beneath pearl clouded skies
and faint outlines of distant thoughts

White on black stripes drape in glacial wanderings
spanning the slush of asphalt weavings 
in straight line piercings across the wintry landscape

January reigns brutal, subzero ponderings swirl
from high above the icebox wasteland, once brimming with color
now opaque in its arctic seasoned disguise…

~

Written from memory…no winter here. : )

R.  Robustly enjoying winter activities and all the thrills

Premium Member The Martian Miners

The union-management talks reach stalemates in their sessions.
Our representatives are attempting to gain concessions.
If we do not obtain better working conditions and a pay hike,
we see no other alternative but to go on strike.

On the slopes of Olympus Mons, we descend underground.
Inside this mine, deposits of titanium can be found.
If we go further, we can find gold and platinum.
In abundance are other metals like silver and palladium.
There are large untapped veins we can easily see.
Industries on Earth have been grateful for their discovery.
As a result, market prices for commodities have gone down.
Our location has been a booming Martian mining town.

The way the management has treated us has been pitiful.
It seems as if they are discourteous and ungrateful.
Despite dim light in the day, and subzero temperatures at night,
I have every belief in what we are doing is right.
