Winter's Crystal Bell

Only can an ear frost-bit
Hear it, glass- like, struck.
What to Winter's first morning
Rose; a stiffer buck!

Out from a pinnacled height
Of blue ice ringing.
Prompting signal to frozed airs
Snow-storms to spearhead.
Northernmost mystical dread.
Twilight does enring.

HE REMINDS ME

He reminds me back when I was thirty-one and he was thirty
Acquainted with him in the mid-month of humid February
He reminds me of fresh boiled tea, roti and chick pea
And the ceiling fan he took snaps for streaks continuity
He reminds me of Japanese comics and series of anime
Which he could read and watch anytime of the day
He reminds me of cricket, football and all the games he play
And the time when he sang Aurora's runaway

He reminds of streams, mountains and valley
Showed me pics and clips of the northernmost India's beauty
He reminds me whenever there's an outage of electricity
How we struggle in life out of life's complexity
He reminds me that what keeps us going are money and responsibility
And we should be contented with it and just be happy.

He reminds me whenever I feel sleepy
Like him, I once was dependent on melatonin gummy
He reminds me of his yellow-striped collared tee
How it hugged and clung his body perfectly 
He reminds me of his jaw and chin so beard-y
How I wish I could caress them tenderly 
He reminds me now with everything I see
But everything is just a wish and I can't have him, unfortunately.


Premium Member Song of The Yellow-Bellied Marmot No 3: AABB

Imagine ... our continental divide,
seen by nose lengthers who are not sharp-eyed.
The Yellow-Bellied Marmots, host the most,
from the northernmost down off the west coast.
There are six varieties of marmots
that live in the area, and what parts
them from the other five marmot species
are that they are polygamous? Unease
males, penance ... more than one mother-in-law.
They're gamey, thought by some that use a claw,
and squirrely; their defining term. There's
a cousin whose shadow's in the crosshairs.
Late winter, early spring, Yellow Bellies,
seasons bring ... the nights, Machiavelli's.

Norwegian Beaches

Utterly cold waters for two southerners from Oslo.
They take our breath away when swimming. 
The land of the midnight sun and the gorgeous
Aurora lights are featured at Uttakleiv Beach.
Kept our eyes open too for unusual sights at
Lofoten Islands in northern Norway. 
Eye of the Dragon was one showpiece - a most
Intriguing natural rock formation -
Visibly impressive, virtually unmatched. 

Both my wife Nora and I, have our bucket lists.
Each of us have longed to visit our northernmost 
Arctic Circle area and its famous fjords.
Colossal - the Trollfjordan near Lofoten which
Hails as the best holiday site ever in Norway.

Lord

What does Lord descends to the lowest heaven in the last third of every night mean?
1.No country on the planet earth has a permanent day or permanent night.
2.The North Pole has midnight sun for 4 or 6 months from late March to late September.
3.The northernmost town in the US,experiences darkness from November to January every year.
4.The Northern parts of Greenland,Alaska,Canada,Norway,Siberia have almost no daylight for months.
                    Couplet
    Har kisi ka apna din apni raat
Har kisi ka apna nazriya apni baat.


'coming About'

Roaming the prairies and fields
of confusion
Coursing the oceans and lakes
of delusion
Resetting my compass by the
northernmost star
Journeying inward 
—where near meets the far

(Dreamsleep: October, 2021)

Premium Member One Hand Clapping

One hand clapping causes tornados
On the northernmost slopes of Kilauea
Houses are destroyed
Many unemployed
But stocks were up for red ripe tomatoes

Premium Member Aino People

Have you heard of the people known as the Aino?
Their reduced numbers reside on the island of Hokkaido.
That is the northernmost portion of Japan.
Living in isolation is each woman and man.
Every day, they toil with their labors.
The Aino culture is markedly different from their neighbors.
The men never shave as each has a long beard.
However, they are peaceful and should never be feared.
