'Pon Mt. Edgecumbe lies soft serve ice cream Being surrounded by fuchsia lips Wishfully gazed upon by a cobalt blue dream Over the port full of harbor ships Colors of the sky predicting snow pretty ugly The ice cream running down the mountain awfully good Those waters in the harbor down deep bubbly Teeming with jumbo shrimp and on the beach driftwood Sitka, Alaska experiences each day's end With a sky ending with special delights Sky and earth seem to together blend When day seems to slip into the dark night finis'...

I really enjoyed this rhyme Sara. I like how you lead the reader into your painted poem. I say painted as when I read it I envisaged a watercolour painted scene. The lines: "Sky and earth seem to together blend' and "The ice cream running down the mountain.." were key to my thinking here. I'll always smile too, when I hear the words "jumbo shrimp": An oxymoron if ever there was one. :) Nice work Sara! Cheers - Gary

Beautiful description of the seaside with many ships anchored in the port. The poem's beauty is augumented by the lovely images. Enjoyed reading your composition, dear Sara

love this about your Mount Edgecumbe - ice cream would apply to ours too (LOL, very expensive ice cream bought from the cafe in that case!)

Jack, Store bought ice cream is usually expensive especially if individually wrapped kind. Your visits always lift my spirits. Sara

The photos are breathtaking as well as this enticing poem. What style is this when you rhyme the first and the third lines with the second and the fourth? Very well done. Enjoyed

Nancy, The rhyme scheme is sort of like that of a sonnet (abab, cdcd, efef and if it were a sonnet I would have ended with gg). Thanks for the visit. Sara

Would love to cruise around Alaska, just back from Norway and had the pleasure of meeting Anne-Lise in Haugesund. A memorable trip that will stay with me forever. Hope you're keeping well Sara. Tom

I can imagine that was the case in Norway. I have only been to Sitka, Alaska in photos from the internet and maybe through a movie or two that I have seen that said they were filmed in Alaska. Sara

Just back for another look Sara. Love the ice cream running down the mountain, saw plenty of it in Norway.

I am delighted that you got to go on that nice trip, meet Anne-Lise. I know the memories will lift you up in times of things in life that don't go so well. Thank you, Tom for dropping by. Sara

Thank you for the high praise, Lasaad. I appreciate the visit and kind review of my work. Don't think too deeply about the lines those because I might have been thinking about some French Fries with mustard. Sara
