Best Alaska Poems
Alaska GlaciersGlacial 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.

Cruise To AlaskaThe trip was a riot of color,
It brings a myriad of queries,
Fantastic tales of utter darkness,
Views' visible roots were explored.
Mainsail surges,
pungent froth carried wave tips while,
blast swings moaning openly.
superb mountains,
Convey streams into streaming rivers,
Down slants shrouded in woods.
And the majesty of the stars,
Is confronted...

For Jim: An Alaska RamblerI think of how you must have been
in bygone days with friends from your boyhood.
From things you’ve said, I picture you back then
blazing trails and camping in the Cincinnati Wood.
And then perhaps you stood a man at seventeen
with one carnation pinned onto your suit.
Vernal still,...

AlaskaWhat icy wind has brought this darkened day
it hearkens to the depth of it's bowel
from this day hence,until the month of May
like the lonely wolf mates, deep throaty howl
to breathe is almost like a winter fray
as so dost the Arctic Polar Bear scowl
My heart yearns...

Alaska, the Last FrontierAlaska; the wilderness state, the last frontier:
Where majestic mountains,
Deliver streams into flowing rivers:
Down slopes covered in forests
Of Sitka Spruce and Western Hemlock,
That dominates the landscape.
The name Alaska originates
From the Aleut word ‘Alyeska,’
Meaning the ‘mainland’ or literally:
‘The object toward which the action of the sea is...

Alaska the Last FrontierBehold the pioneering spiritualist, living on the edge
Of the civilizations harshest grid, seeking tranquilities
Harmony beyond the brick lined streets of stress and
Strife of the big city life!
These individualist of true grits foundation, whom live
Life to the fullest extent, tasting the winds of freedom
With every breaths...

Gold Rush AlaskaFamilies sacrifice savings, every petty frill
Praying a lucrative grade to mill
Seeking a bartered shill
Greedy coffers to fill
Hopes and dreams to rill
Nuggets of fine gold to spill
On Porcupine creek's nettled till
Hearty crew of six sated to drill
Though sorely lacking experience. skill
Shoddy equipment of patchwork steel
Surrendering to...

AlaskaIt’s a place that snows
That shines and glows
With mountains all around
And wonders to be found
With treasures to behold
Under the river rock is gold
Wild animals roam the land
Never being touched be man
With fish that swim the streams
In the summer with the suns beams
The northern lights shine...

The Real Wealth of AlaskaAll my worldly possessions were sold
an adventure to north Alaska to find gold,
way past the Yukon river, provisions bought,
snowmobile loaded, riches to be sought,
following route of miners of the gold rush
just barren cold desert of snow and slush,
Two hundred miles into my unrelenting trek
my transport...

Otter Love You Morebow riding
Dall's porpoises play
sea otters, orcas
and bald eagles
every day
herding salmon

and some porpoise

love slips through
reel it in carefully
and stack it meticulously
(setting it should
never ensue disaster)
