Iceland Poem #2 19FEB22

 Iceland Poem #2 19FEB22 (Written there)

    We the Vikings! The remnants of 

    the former race

    We carried over the tongue 

    of the ancients, the vocabulary

    of the older, seafarers of     

        

    a thousand years since

    a pure way of maintaining

    thoughts and family

    The people of Iceland

    Grafting people in, generation

    After the next

    Those from Chile (2019), Venezuela (2023)

    and Poles and Bulgars

    Arrival on shores and into bars

    Where work is solid

    Society is free - the capital far north

    64 degrees, further than any other

    A large, wide open city

    A people, comfortable in their

    Culture - a land

    A land for the language of Vikinga
