Antarctica<br />
Antarctica is a modern sonnet. Traditional sonnets date from the 16th century. They<br />
have 14 lines. Sonnets can be on any topic but were often about love.<br />
Antarctica<br />
Antarctic streets are canyons<br />
Great surfaces of glass<br />
Where ghosts of lost explorers roam<br />
And sleek wet penguins pass<br />
Antarctic towns are frozen<br />
The air is green and white<br />
The only movement’s high above<br />
An albatross in flight<br />
Antarctic parks are cold and bare<br />
There’s nothing here to see<br />
But South Pole winter dark and long<br />
Snow, stretching sea to sea<br />
And the whispering swish of sliding seals<br />
Echoes over empty fields<br />
