Poem of the week: Please Do Not Touch the Walrus … by Caleb Parkin

 

 

A take after…

I decide to clamber up, despite my receding will,

After crossing so many mediums,

Stumbling blocks too, a fiberglass pathway,

Reaching destination of iceberg, a difficult

to describe. How   to describe thick cold ice

thawless, as human heart, especially in times

of distress and dilemma, bugging ever.

My imagination ever expansive as

Boat on widening path, woods floating,

Catamaran still catching our eyes

for the day, moving there. Islands

and beaches, merry spots as we read

in our books, volumes, surpassing our

imaginations. How fantastic our luxury

boat with all luxurious crew, sightseeing,

last to appear is walrus, our pride and delight

beyond our speed of flight into high regions.
