Juneau

I have been in Alaska the past week and have been majorly inspired.

Long have I heard

Of misty mountains’ majesty,

But it never dawned fully

Until I saw her there in Juneau.

 

Jutting up in magnificent grandeur -

Clouds hung around her in adoration,

Kissing her face

As two streams of crystal tears

Trickled down her jade cheeks

In awe of her own splendor.

 

I sighed and breathed in

Her earthy perfume

As I swam in serenity.

What an alluring asseveration of the nature that surrounded you! Your words were so clear, so elegant. I just want to read this poem over and over again. There is such artistry and grace in your words. This piece truly touched my heart and I just can't say enough about it I am going to shut up now :P

I thought this was kissing a girl, but then I read the caption and the comments and oh you're describing a mountain, nevertheless, I did enjoy it ;)

i think you did a good job of bringing the setting to life

and placing the reader within the heart of its majestic world, as from the authors POV

great job

Quite nicely penned. I like the narcissistic element you portrayed in this. Your eloquence amazed me throughout. I think this is quite an opus!
