Ice mountains—proud family of fusion,

disturbed by vanishing effort...

I sometimes wonder if bergs

despise the estrangement,

ousted from the whole,

when my neglect

turned up the

melting

heat

    Aw, a love story, a break up tale, and an environmental message! Love this ❤️ I’ve been thinking about doing a break-up volcano poem (lol… somehow 😅) but I like this so much better! Wonderful work!
