Tumbling in 
The Arctic wind
Stiff claws 
Clamping down,
Through the 
Seagull's heart, again

Somewhere In the Arctic

The Inuit looked out of his igloo 
at the vast wilderness, endless snow, 
" Autumn is coming " he said to his wife,
and she answered " how will we know?"

immoral north winds 
locking jaws on shriveled souls-
sun starved perdition 

becharmed arctic breeze
winter’s kiss exalting hearts-
moon drenched nirvana

Premium Member Polar Vortex

The arctic 
a wet dog 
shaking off the cold

Winter 
a feral dog 
won’t do what it’s told

The b*tch is 
it’s happening 
exactly as foretold

Rain of Torture

The needles
Of thousands
and of millions
pour on me,
Drenching me
with its
Arctic temperature.
Each drop is like
a frozen amber,
Smouldering
at absolute zero.

A polar bear cub was once told,
That the Arctic was not really cold,
But it gave him a cough,
And he froze his butt off,
So he kept his nuts wrapped in a fold!
