Alpine Poems - Poems about Alpine

Ten Thousand Feet Have you ever had a snowball fight Shorts, feet naked in cold snow, Mid July? Unexpected island of white surrounded By endless hues, tiny alpine flowers Cupped in the palm of the great grey Grand Tetons. Thin air made it a short lived delight… at the time. The dissonance of it, joy, the magic of the moment Live through...

Alpine Park Our children's laughing voices animated the alpine air. The scene was a park chain-sawed out of a small forest. We took them there for the swings--and a fanciful bear. That was burnt summers ago when all of us were young. One autumn noon when shadows are like thoughts--long my wife and I resolved to revisit our family's...

It's too hot and humid for September! Even dust specks descending in the room's sunlight are beads of sweat running down my sides. I bring pencil, crossword and ice tea to this chair and table, these angled shutters, this ceiling fan. In a world of metaphors perhaps a cool alternate reality can emerge. I sit still as glaciers, remembering houses I've lived...

I want to bottle this air just for you I wish I could wrap it up and bring it back! If I could hold my breath long enough this would be easier. So I think you should just come with me next time So I can kiss you I wish you could feel this breeze I wish you could come above...

Early morning seedlings The thoughts of a new day Sprout from my mind And travel up your way In northern Italy By train, by plane, by mail, By digital rails My spirit to you sails And my heart for you prevails Completely unveiled Forever in the gale That ebbs and flows aloft These alpine mountaintops...

This mountain of tall firs and pines overlooks a placid valley with a hut, meadows of wild flowers intrigue. Hikers go upward meeting clouds, their adventure is kind of unique. Bell-shaped trumpet gentians spout-- rain on the pretty flowers of the Alps. No mountain in this region is gaudier than the unfolding new discoveries... boulders and cliffs with sparkling dew. Alpinists adore...

Our children’s laughing voices animated the alpine air. The scene was a park carved from a forest for a clearing. We took them there for the swings—and a fanciful bear. 'Twas burnt summers ago, when we were child-rearing. One autumn noon when shadows are like thoughts—long My wife and I resolved to revisit our family’s alpine retreat. Swings were gone, but...

Across the Swiss and Austrian Alps brutal gusts steadly blow, calling for heavy snowflakes dancing as lost butterflies... falling as summer's lonely stars. Ginger bread smells good, honey in tea is superb; I inhale the steamy swirls that jackrabbits love to smell. Kaffe Klatsch is strong lurching through their nostrils, making them too hyper. Northern Italy's wooden shacks over the wide, frigid vallies... point to a warmer South quiet only...

Springing from the highest rocky crags Tiny treasures, splendid little jewels High in the drifting blue alpine mists Strong ladies, survivors of winters cruel Soft yellow, palest pink and vanilla cream Tiny bits of heaven, glistening like tear drops Thrown with abandon on the gray strata A rainbow promise on the mountain tops...
