blueish glacier
looms against the arctic sky
beautifully dangerous
deep caverns traverse beneath
fortress of ice demons
Ice demons is right -- the glaciers can dangerous monsters indeed!
ReplyDeleteBut --- they can be gorgeous too.
Loved the post :)
Thank you! so glad you enjoyed.
DeleteThat tanka was also tinged with a touch of legend - which is exactly how it should be, there was a real sense of drama - in what is a dramatic landscape. So very nicely done. I am very honoured by your beautiful words in the mention. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteThanks I was hoping both would be heard. Thank you for the inspiration I needed to write.
