Best Artic Poems

My silky ivory coat keeps me warm in the artic climate,
my keen senses search for prey in the Alaskan wilderness-
When I encounter the mighty mount Denali, I climb it,
yes, I am an Artic Wolf and am known for being carnivorous.

I savor the flavor of a...

artic somersaults

arctic colors bluster
 gossamer rainbow ripples ~
  northern lights fanfare

north winds of daybreak
 electric neon highlights ~
  polar bears snoring

pink and green streaks flash
 watermelon auroras ~
  iceberg skyscrapers

auroras fox trot
 light in staccato steps ~
  high stepping...

Slowly and stately
they shuffle along the ice
Oblivious and orderly
they move from the sea into the frozen wilderness
Moving with uncanny precision
along the widest king's highway on earth
None to impede their path
as the cycle of permanent darkness descends
No polar bear anywhere,
they have all trundled off to hibernate
No...

What's it like travelling in cold,
you think you know but do you know,
the white lands set before your eyes,
sweet summer sun shines up in sky,
I'm Mr Roald trying strong winds,

Burning my face I never knew,
in winters' sane you would not know,
this part of cold the...

She drops from the sky when the right clouds are formed.
There is no announcement, not a sound of an angel’s horn.
She arrives with her snow bear, he is Artic normed.
They are fresh every time, both newly born.

We know she comes on days of the Northern...

Wisdom speaks in notes of light: If another hates
Their neighbour then truly they walk about, darkness
Having blinded their eyes heart to tongue; burnt offerings....
A winter's blast this altar so seeks ? Stripes, the millstone bleeds....

ARTIC SAND DUNE GLATURES

Blowing through my area for a few days
gust making temperature bitterly cold  
rushing underneath my coat; soo bold
penetrating my layers of clothing and boots
siphoning my body natural warmth 
hands throbs with pain; gloves no help
feet and face froze noticeably numb
leg bones stiffening as I...

Gypsy Kaleidoscope

Mystic, mystical, magic gypsy
Spins a halcyon kaleidoscope on white horizon’s
Calypsos leaping in crystal canticles
Erases darkness of the neon midnight sun.

In polar solstice fireworks of ruby throated flaming vermilion
Solar windstorms paint an artic canvass in sapphire frost -
Electric mischief hums in flashing emerald rose
Like phosphorus...

Arctic front just a little seems to much
A tolerance to something with no passion or no desire
To be that frozen bird on the wire
Burning purpose Burning reason 
reason to plant the greatest ideas 
A non-touch society bleeding out slowly
As they shape our mold 
To be...
