Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
Captain L.E.G. Oates “I am just going outside and may be some time."
Snowblind in the whiteout, white
while blinkered with the brightest sight,
all the world submerged in light,
glare that, lancing through eyelids tight,
yet spreads abroad its formless might,
days held fast in radiant night,
direction frozen from left and right,
Antarctic wanderer gives up the fight.
Line count: 8
Free verse (apart from rhyming every line, of course)
