Minifigure Monday is a weekly celebration of LEGO® Minifigures through art. This week, we contemplate wandering a treacherous path alone. I was inspired to write this poem as I was photographing an arctic themed LEGO® set for review. Incidentally, I have been reading a true story about a doomed arctic voyage from the early 20th century. This brightly colored Minifigure seemed so alone on the stark white snow, it evoked feelings of how I imagine those sailors in my book must have felt alone in the cold.

All Alone in the Cold

An original Minifigure inspired poem from True North Bricks.

Doesn’t matter where I go,
All around just endless snow.
Howling winds chill to the bone,
As I wander all alone.
One foot forward on the pack,
Ever fearful it will crack.
If it gives beneath my feet,
Icy waters will I meet.
How to not give in to dread,
With these thoughts inside my head.
All alone out in the cold,
I tell myself I must be bold.

All alone in the cold
The photo that inspired this poem.
