Terence George Craddock Landscapes Poems

perceive the way
breath hoar frost fairy tale
enchants landscapes
...

in this world there are countless landscapes
so many beautiful inspiring landscapes
without vibrant life diverse plants animals
landscapes are lifeless empty soulless voids
...

perceive the way breath hoar frost fairy tale enchants landscapes
greyish-white crystalline frozen water vapour forms in clear still weather
atmospheric icing jack frost coats spider web snow flowers ferns leaves
...

as a single snowball fast thrown
rolling down snow covered
slopes gave birth to an avalanche
...

from vast empty reaches nothingness wastes is desolation founded
in journeys of antique Arctic Antarctic ice were hardship survival journeys
the torture of nothingness and the nothingness of all made manifest
...

people plod stagger on stiff legs in winter journey ghost landscapes
rats scavenging gnawing waste scraps in evil endless frozen months
rag wrapped die death visits yeilds corpse threads for stronger bones
...
