National Poetry Day

"All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling" - Oscar Wilde

In the spirit of  National poetry day 2013, here is some of my own bad poetry, I just hope you can all spot the genuine feeling from whence it sprang. I wrote this whilst up on the ice cap and hope that you enjoy it.... or at least don't judge me too openly.


Nunatak

Nunatak,
Tumbled stack,
Reaching up to peaks of black

Ice below,
Slowly flow,
Tumble rumble creak and groan

Sunlit sky,
Blue on high,
'Neath midnight sun no night is nigh

Rocky peak,
Icy creek
Sunsoaked ice cap ever bleak
