For today's prompt take the phrase "Blank sheet". Replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then write the poem.


Day 4~~ICE SHEET 

Dawn breaks in the icy North
An ice-sheet stretches for miles.
The sun comes up in a blaze of glory,
Reflecting the ice-sheet, dazzling the senses
Silence invasive, broken by our huskies  
Pulling us over the smooth glassy surface 
Panting and barking as we glide on the ice
Frozen water everywhere life is  hard.

Seals beak surface in holes in the ice-sheet
Fish in abundance with marine life below,
Birds flying high in hungry profusion 
Calling to each other in the glistening dawn,
Fighting and squabbling over scraps of  fish.
In the distance two large ghostly figures loom 
Pure white fur invisible against the ice-sheet.
Polar bears hunt, hungry for food and shelter 
The ice-sheet stretches endlessly in every direction.
