Winter dawned on the pole <br />The man and family <br />Making a home of ice, <br />An igloo to pass the winter by, <br />Competed in a few days <br />They stuffed all the frozen <br />Fish, penguins and the sorts, <br />Closing the entrance <br />With a few ice bricks, <br />They lit the lamp with <br />Fish oil, the woman <br />Sewing the leathercoats, <br />For the extreme winter, <br />With dogs barking outside <br />Near the icesledges, <br />Made of whale and animal bones, <br />The kid sleeping on and off, <br />Time tickered by, <br />A full quarter year, <br />Till the sunlight lit the sky, <br />Slowing the sun dawned <br />In afew days time. <br />Circling the east horizon, <br />Round and round <br />Till it reached the zenith, <br />Overhead in circles again, <br />Slowly melting the igloo. <br /> <br />Ravikiran Arakkal<br /><br />RAVIKIRAN ARAKKAL<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-g-l-o-o/
