frozen Dutch canal
sharp blades glide effortlessly
passing Anne Frank's House

ancient wooden boats
gnarled hands slowly pull worn nets
smaller catch each year

Old Ironsides

massive oak timbers 
hearty men piped to action
mighty war machine
planks resisted cannonballs 
like our nation, still afloat

trout's relentless hunt
rippling stream over smooth rocks
fry cower in shade

Viking Sword

Blacksmith's massive hands
delivering powerful hammer blows,
beating glowing red steel 
into submission.
Sparks illuminating
magnificent artistry.
Fiercely wielded
in the name of Odin.
Tales heralded it's glory.
Unearthed, virtually unscathed.                                         
Instrument of death,
1,200 years at peace.

Cross Country Skiing

waxed skis glide smoothly
tracks on fresh, crisp, moonlit snow
frozen woodland sounds

cool, damp, morning air
flowers smile at the gold sun
willows slowly sway

unchallenged danger
Siberian tiger stalks
fearful boars panic
