Snow Camels

Two hardy mallards.

Like ambition
with orange webbing they
transcend the desperation
of winter
in a blush of green
on the face of white.
Their blue water
has been fettered,
yet they remain implacable.
In this cold desert
they disregard arduous dunes,
retain the ancient spontaneity,
and invest
in survival.
We part the curtains
to expose the landscape,
then reward
       the account
with a convening
at the gate.

I like the way it's formatted. The line's are kind of choppy, and that made the imagery pop out as I read. Great read.

Really nice work, I like the imagery.

this is brilliant. Why's no one reviewed this?
shame on you all
"they disregard arduous dunes,
retain the ancient spontaneity,

it's taps the essence of things and says hello
hello people? am I talking to myself
the whole piece is brilliant from start to finish
it's aldous huxley with his hand on emerson's shoulder
