Notes About The Poem

Alaska Glaciers

Glacial hills rise elevating fervid sights

Mesmerizing desires adorned turquoise blue

Arousing cobalt passions in sapphire heights

Floating cotton balls on melting cyan hue.

Above your scenic view gloats the sunlit sky

Lifting eager vibes upon hearing my sigh

Urging the frozen glaciers to woo romance

Embracing zealous emotions held in trance.

Your breathtaking and romantic imagery flows ever so gracefully, Vijay. I especially love your last two lines; 'Urging the frozen glaciers to woo romance Embracing zealous emotions held in trance.' Pure poetry, my friend. Warmest wishes for a joyous holiday season.. ~Susan

Very creative write, VJ! To evoke such warm feeling from a frozen landscape is poetic genius. I felt the love, and it sent chills down my spine. Mighty fine ink strokes, my dear friend. Love and more love always.

A pristine paradise is envisioned in your romantic poem Vijay! I lived and worked there for a time. It is beautiful! Hawaii shares a kind of kinship with Alaska with not being a part of the mainland and in high cost of living. We are often excluded in being able to receive mail shipping free. : )

Yes-it is such a beautiful state..amazing landscape even beyond the glaciers. You live in a beautiful state as well. I agree..both so expensive even for visitors. Thank you Connie.

Very good, Vijay. I enjoyed this enormously. I lived for several years in Alaska and have incredible memories of touring Prince William Sound, at times coming quite close to some of the glaciers. You do justice to their awesome beauty. Well done. Best wishes. Deb

My favorite color is blue; all blues. Love the photo and they do, "Urging the frozen glaciers to woo romance Embracing zealous emotions held in trance." This was a mesmerizing pen for a person who loves blue, especially; had to "Fav"; well done my friend.

Beauty , warmth and the scent of love in the presence of "frozen glaciers"! Only a highly talented poet could soar high with his imagination to set his words of pearls colours and value! A jeweller masterfully picking up the rarest of his gems to adorn his fine work! A FAV. Always a great pleasure to read your beauties dear Vijay. Best regards. Blessed be always.

Oh my, and you make icy mountains- those tender skies painted in blue with clouds of white, sound soooo inviting. Is it possible to be warm, while being cold all at the same time.?? Yes!! Your thoughts take me there. This is beautiful in every way. :) Brandy
