Fire & Ice

Fire and ice never works. I understand your sentiments, felt them on many occasions myself. Hope 'see you later' means you're taking a breather and will surely grace us with your beautiful spirit and amazing poetry sooner than later. Stay well Chi! xo

Dear Rain, I'll be right back after my vacations to Iceland :-).
Thanks for your good wishes and warm  words. You stay well, too!

I'd love to go to Iceland one day -
read Auden
and Macneice's 1930s travelogue
once and always meant
to go...

Then make your dream come true ...
Iceland's worthwhile a trip or two (or three).

Have a great time and you know i'd be looking forward in seeing the pix :)

Oh Vee, thank you, dear friend! It was a breathtaking adventure!
Started to post pics on FB :-).
2578 more are awaiting my attention. Phew!
You'll see!

I like this and I find it funny. I hope it's supposed to be funny? I took it as a commentary on the very popular (and kitschy) "sword and sorcery" genre. I guess it is actually about Iceland? Or that, among other things?

Glad you like it and no, it wasn't really supposed to be funny. But I appreciate a good laugh too :-).
Yes, it is about a trip to Iceland.

Poetry sometimes admits to multiple interpretations.  I will continue to enjoy my misconstruction that you were mocking "Lord of the Rings" or some similar epic.  ;-)

Poetry should leave room for personal interpretations :-). That's absolutely desirable. Wouldn't it be boring otherwise? But I would NEVER ever mock "Lord of the Rings"! Luckily Iceland has nothing in common with Mordor :-). If you referred to Modor? Interpretations ...

Fire n ice...Hhhmmm Iceland I suppose is the ice, n Ur the fire! Right!? Right!? lol have a safe n wonderful trip Chi. :)

You're such a charming man, aren't you, dear Poe? Always appreaciate your kind words :-).
Thanks for wishing me well and yesyesyes, it was a wonderful trip! xoxo

Enjoy your odyssey in the land of fire and ice.  I'm sure the vistas will provide plenty of inspiration for future haiku

Thank you, much enjoyed indeed, Lobo! The trip as well as your good wishes!
There are ideas in plenty forming in my head regarding haikus, yes :-)!
So many pictures in my head and on the harddrive ...

Ah, Iceland is lovely, isn't it? Would like to go back. Glad you enjoyed your adventure there.

Iceland is lovely, indeed! You have been there, too? Where? When?

I spent a too-brief time in Reykjavik many years ago. Didn't get a chance to adventure to the falls and geysers or explore more than a bit of the city, which is a big reason to make my way back someday.

You have to. With more time. It's lovely!
