Meet this dweller of the icy continent
Among the few, he is the chief occupant
Out in that territory, it is freezing cold
With nothing but a sea of whiteness to behold

Valsa, the last stanza says it all. You have certaintly captured the majestic nature of this creature. They also slide on the ice.++10 Robert
Hi Valsa Ma'm, What you have written are things we know, about the life of penguin. Reading and watching Animal Planet, NGC Wild etc. But the way you have represented in poetry, it is exquisite. Rhyming. Loved reading again and again. Love to come back to read it again. Thanks you for sharing. Beautiful poem on still beautiful people.10++
I am bowled over by your comment Unnikrishnan! Thank you so much...! I had even forgotten about this poem....! Thanks for reminding me of it! Now I too wonder how I could effect the rhyming!
I wgatched a documentary about penguins and your poem is just as informative...Excellent.....
The penguins thrive in snow and sleet That to them is never an easy feat This can be definitely called poem story and this is of course very much interesting and heart touchable. Excellent presentation.
The informative piece enlightens us on the world of such emperors ruling the snowy polar stripes. There is no need for writing poems alone at times and this break is yet another pleasant pace for you madam.
very informative....this is the first time i read a poem on penguin....great work...
Very informative poem so beautifully developed with deep research and knowledge. There are lot of things we can learn from penguins and the way they live. Thank you.
very informative and poignant indeed...................a very nice topic to write.............greatly enjoyed it.......thanks
An informative and very interesting write, we could all learn from the way they help each other in the depths of bitter cold extremes with their bodies tightly packed together they move around so each one of them has their turn in the middle of the pack. They have their priorities right with the male penguin involved in keeping the egg warm while the female hunts for food!
Very interesting, I never knew their art of balancing eggs on their feet. Believe it or not whenever I see a movie of penguins they appear very much similar to Arabs.
The poetess has shown observational talent in the description of Penguin and anyone reading the poem gets the images and living conditions of the Penguin in minutest detail without exaggeration.The most interested line comes to my mind while reading was Live the emperor Penguin wise They remind us of nuns dresses in white beautifully told it and created a wonderful image of Penguin. It is a new knowledge that Penguins are in fasting till younger one are out........Beautiful poem.
This is very informative, descriptive and illuminating.....Valsa......so beautifully penned with rhyme really makes the piece amazing and mesmerizing.....Penguin is really the emperor of the icy continent.....and I think this poem should be included in curriculum so that students can enjoy reading it.......great write....10/10
The title of the poem " Emperor Penguin" is properly justified through the inscription of the poem.You have so fascinatingly delineated the processes of leading lives and fighting of emperor penguins., I like to cite few lines here....The emperors thus live on the razor edge of life / And their lives with challenges are rife / With their densely packed layers of plumage / They keep their bodies from serious damage... A brilliant poem.10
