Best Northern Lights Poems
Starstruck
Gazing at the stars in the nighttime sky
A shooting star reflects an awestruck sigh.
The Northern lights make their appearance nigh
With vivid colored ribbons soaring high,
They penetrate my soul and mystify.
A cosmic gift to almost deify,
The wind joins in to sing a lullaby,
I feel conjoined to let my spirit fly.

For contest Nature themed haiku with color
Lament
Brooding days,
Vanquished in the unconnected gloom,
Shower frost,
Standing watch at dawn to pierce the morning
With an artic tempest,
Swirling ‘cross a land lost in forgetfulness:
Sighing
Beneath borderless views of snow unbroken,
Where nothing dare disturbs
The unchanging vision
But a single line of footprints
When skies of grey and bleaker daylight
Lean so close to earth
They lay their heaviness upon a homeless wood sprite
Wandering in the raw breath of twilight dawning,
Caught by phantom gusts
Spiraling down,
Shivering as the brumaled wind
Runs its fingers
Through the marrow of the soul
Where slumber languishes,
Icebound
As plodding steps
Frantically searching groves of tangled silver linden,
Pursued
And haunted
By the relentless midnight sun;
Errant fugitive,
Followed by the wispy remnants of a golden morning,
Trembling
As barren aspen branches
Beneath bright errant bursts of fiery lights -
Racing
Across
The northern sky -
Taunting
Tortured
Eyes
Seeing only to remember;
Grasping
For a single crocus
Plunged into yearning
Until the boreal shadows
Touch
The depth of darkness
Bidding nordic sprite to sit,
To rest,
Curled up against a frozen birch of black and white,
Taking final flight on tattered winds
Heralding the touch of sunlight.
Godspeed my friend
When the solar winds stir magic
Unleashed beauty a riot of colour
It undulates and swells, ecstatic
In darkness I stand and wonder
Colours sublime capture my mind
Turmoil of life far, far away
Life on hold not counting time
Arura Borealis forever and a day
Upon the stage, curtains wave and part;
halos arise from black velvet canvas, an aurora-lime dance.
Arced streamers among the nimbus lends it’s flavors of cherry and
orange, personality to a taste of the ethers.
A display of lavender-pink tones are electric kisses and promenade.
A luminous do-see-do sparks crescendo, a gods warm breath.
The northern winds and the waters echo the notes
sung by the goddess of the dawn as, she dines
and dances her masterpiece upon heaven’s canvas.
Resplendent beauty of Heaven’s smile is etched upon
etched upon the painted sky. This...display,
ecstasy to the human eyes.
The Northern Lights have always been associated
with myths - fairy tale - mystery and legends
One of these is that the Northern Lights
are light that dances in the sky
together with the goblins and trolls
A dance of the polar sky
In Northern Norway you can experience
Northern Lights from ringside seat
The Northern Lights consists of geomagnetic activity
It is also called winter heaven light organ
Nature's most magnificent phenomena
A party in many different beautiful colors

northern lights rehearse
hibernating bear blinks, yawns...
first cold blanket sown
Red and green hues light the sky at night, making hissing sounds
Unbelievable, their movements cascading and delighting us
Northern lights it has been called; the Aurora Borealis.

lights
curtains
emerald
majestic crest
fire
Night emotes in sun whipped sheets,
weaved from rainbow thread.
Blueish greens that shyly wink,
blushing pink to red.

Many northern lights will disappear
they will soon no longer on my winter sky wines
but the night's stars are still there
so a few more days
those to me waving
Fresh, serene, open sky
Lights with hints of blue and green
Cold, calm, starry night.
The northern lights bow
As our freedom is displayed
Independence Day
INVASION OF THE NORTHERN LIGHTS
swift light loop
lariates the mountain
impossibly
nocturnal
ancient spirit duels
sky terror
