Analysis of Icebergs

Mo Khurram 1994 (Montreal)



I would rather like to see,
the iceberg than a ship, stock still like cloudy rock
as undissolved snow lies upon the water

It's the season, icebergs on the way
to show us, what they may not be
as they can be deep than surface

Deep, frozen hearted and cold
can be easily broken or thawed away
as strong as it can be an iceberg

Icebergs are white fields of variable sizes
they can be a table tennis or football fields
icebergs melt up slowly and fade away

Icebergs are free floating, can be anything
they have been see like mountains, animals and a ship
after breakup from glaciers, they can be anything

Icebergs are like Ice-cubes in the jug
cooling up our drink of the ocean
and we enjoy the waters whole summer

Icebergs can be tyrant hearted
it was an iceberg, who sank the titanic
icebergs are quite unpredictable from close up

Icebergs are usually deep down inside
give goosebumps when they strike
a feeling like heart is pounded and sinking

Icebergs are usually attention seeking
they get release and float towards islands
to get applause and pictures taken by visitors

Icebergs show up late spring till fall
bring flocks of people visiting coasts
then time to see off, as icebergs live few months
