Lake Superior Tale
A chapter in the book Animated Stills
Maiden in the Ice
by Treischel
Maiden in the Ice
Legend tells the story, The Maiden in the ice. She met a frozen fate. Took a risk, paid the price. Superior's winters Can freeze up Thunder Bay. Save a lot of travel By crossing it, some say. Much to her sad regret Maiden took bad advice, Started walking one day Across the frozen ice. Fell right through a thin spot And came out soaking wet. Then climbed upon a ledge. A place where fate was met. Superior's howling winds Stiffened up sodden clothes. Image now forever Remains right where she froze. |
A Story I made up, based on the Image
Syllable count 6, Alternale line rhyming, abcb.
I was up at Duluth, Minnesota showing a couple of my photographs at an art exhibit. While there, I drove up Lake Superior's North Shore a few miles to shoot some ice pictures. This in one of many I took. The image looked to me like someone frozen on a ledge. I just had to write a poem about it. So, here it is. This will become one of my stories in my Amimated Stills Poetry Book.
Animated stills are poems where inanimate objects take on human, animal, or spirit forms, traits, or articles. They are derived from Photographs I have taken, that have moved me to write a poem associated with it.
