autumn sunset

autumn sunset -
the bamboo sways
in a gentle breeze


autumn sunset -
the cicadas shrill and
shrill and shrill



autumn sunset -
I run for another bottle
of cold beer






You just won't believe how hot it is tonight !
You have to run,
otherwise the beer gets warm before it reaches your mouth.

An island of ice more than four times the size of Manhattan is drifting across the Arctic Ocean after breaking off from a glacier in Greenland. Potentially in the path of this unstoppable giant are oil platforms and . . .

A massive iceberg in Greenland has sparked a scientific debate over its threat to shipping and possible links to global warming.

The largest iceberg in almost five decades split from Greenland's Petermann Glacier last Friday and is drifting towards the Arctic Ocean.

A University of Delaware researcher said the ice island, about 30 kms long and 10 kms wide, is four times the size of Manhattan. The last time the Arctic lost such a large chunk of ice was in 1962.

While it is drifting slowly, it is now a constant reminder of the massive maritime tragedy which sank the once-thought unsinkable Titanic passenger liner in 1912.

Some experts worry the iceberg, which is too huge to be stopped, will pose a danger to oil platforms and shipping lanes, while others think the danger is not that immediate.

Researchers are trying to draw up the trajectory of the floating iceberg. They say it is drifting toward the Nares Strait which separates Greenland's northwestern coast and Canada's Ellsemere Island.
