Took a risk, paid the price. Risked all and paid the price.
Can freeze up a whole bay. Can freeze up Thunder Bay.
Maiden took bad advice, And served with bad advice,

Just a few suggestions to make the lines flow better. Regretfully this poem is not up to your usual high standards. However, I offered constructive criticism and not hearty verbiage that would stroke a poet's ego. I would expect no less the same from you.

With respect and warm regards:

    Thanks Steve. I take your point, you're trying to get it iambic, which I didn't claim it to be. I like the Thunder Bay idea, and used it.

    My dear Treishal: Thanks and I'm glad there was no animosity generated between like minded scribes. As brothers of the written word, I admire your ability as a professional.

    Again with warm regards:

A fascinating tale of the lore
of the mighty lake and of the
damsel who found distress and
is now forever immortal as she
remains frozen in time for all
who do not heed the advice of
not going on the ice.
Well done

"Superior's howling winds
Stiffened up sodden clothes
Image now forever
Remains right where she froze."

I loved it, what a wonderful story you've made up here. It is really sad though, but you came out with an excellent reason for the way the ice looks. It does too! A pleasure to read. xsx Sandra
