Mother Earth's Jagged Scar

Poem by prompt.

A jagged scar on Mother Earth,

An unforgiving shadow,

an endless void of no return,

no man should ever dare go,

ten feet down there's no more light,

travel ten feet more,

thirty feet below there's ice,

Drop down to its core,

now you reach a hundred yards,

what ever could there lurk ?

cold and silent, dead and still,

what's that there in the murk ?

just like ocean far below,

creatures twist, change and glow,

spines grow here,

teeth grow there,

bioluminescent stare,

sliding in the freezing fog,

lurking in the death cold dark,

some places men should never go,

like Mother Nature's jagged mark

This is not the beauty of Mother Nature. This is cold terror and mystery of places and spaces beyond our world, under our very feet, within our mother earth. Powerful. Gave me a shiver.
