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

Ahhh... This is a poem that refreshes the soul, Ashira. Reading this took me away from the city crowds and noise; your words transported me to Alaska... Lovely!

[Ashira Macy]

Thank you Rita, being away from the crowds was just amazing. We came back to the airport here and it was almost like culture shock after a week.

Thank you Eve, I didn't want to leave either.

Alaska really is beautiful and breathtaking. My husband lived there for a few months before we got married. He loved it, aside from his roommate who tried to bankrupt us.

This piece is well written and vivid in description. Thank you fir sharing.

[Ashira Macy]

It was magnificent, I didn't even want to leave. He is lucky that he was able to stay for a few months. Thank you for reading and reviewing dear!

I would love to see this. I have a hard time believing that Alaska is a dangerous place...

[Ashira Macy]

It was a wonderful sight to see, if you ever get the chance I would highly recommend it. I don't doubt the danger, but I would have thought it would be primarily wildlife danger, not crime. That is surprising.

i find it interesting reading this poem...you just wrote of beauty and serenity of Alaska...
and inspiration....

and i just recently heard that Alaska ranks third on the list of the top five most dangerous states based on crime statistics per populace....and that really surprised me,, greatly.
i like the description in the poem..you make us see it. and feel it.

[Ashira Macy]

Thank you Jacob, I am happy you enjoyed it. I am honestly surprised about that statistic, everyone we met there seemed pretty nice. But I am sure it is different to live there, and it is a big state. One area doesn't represent the whole state.
