Notes About The Poem

Jungfraujoch

Climbing slowly ascends a silent invitation to witness heaven on earth
Emerging in layers of allure, a rising pictorial lifts emotional grandeur
Bringing closer and closer dome of sky, tempting to reach and touch
Glistening frozen peaks with pinkish sunshine attempting to converge

Splendor strolls tenderly to romantic overtures over crunching snow 
As satiated visions swing on icy air-streams, floating on Top of Europe

June 18, 2018

Placed 8th: Mid June 2018 premiere contest by Brian Strand

Beautiful image and an informative piece written in great elegance ! Haven't heard of such a place ! From the picture and from your description I assume that it is a wonderful cliff almost touching heavens ! In six lines you have unveiled a marvel of Nature !

A very well done piece; I can envision it and feel the chill; but, I'd rather see it from a warm hotel room.

You might have indeed! Mt. Titlis is near Lucerne, but not that far from Interlaken which is where you board a train to go up to Jungfrojoch. Many thanks for the kind feedback, nette.
