No Land in Sight
As the darkness turns to light,
the ice melts with great haste,
the animals swim with all their might,
searching for the food they like to taste.
Miles and miles they search for land,
there is no place to hide from the sun’s rays,
there is no one there to give them a hand,
the broken ice is like a maze.
They keep going and going
but they never give up,
the water keeps flowing and flowing,
but they still never give up.
They become so tired; they could no longer fight,
there wasn’t an iceberg left in sight.

Good story
I really like the story and meaning behind this poem, though I think the rhyming seems a bit forced through most of it, and the rhythm in the second and third stanzas seems to falter. Reading the poem, I get the feeling that the point was it's key feature, and may have been better if written in free verse.
