soar
in my dreams i fly
to alaska
build a nest somewhere high
in the trees
lay in a stock of sharp pencils
marry words
to make sense of all i see
.

Today I am over at dVerse Poets, with a prompt about bucket lists and firsts.

I would to go there too ~ I love the use of “marry” words ~ Stunning photo too ~ Thanks for hosting Kelly ~

This sure sounds good to me!
October 25th, 2016 at 12:45 pm
I absolutely love this photograph – it really is very special. The poem goes perfectly with it too.
October 25th, 2016 at 12:46 pm
This was defiant and hopeful. Loved.
October 25th, 2016 at 3:06 pm
Yes! Alaska is on my list, too.
October 25th, 2016 at 3:15 pm
Been to Alaksa twice, the last time driving all the way up & back. The Alcan Highway is quite the adventure of itself; tons of wildlife–but the mosquitos ruined some of it for me. Take repellent & netting.

I would love to see Alaska but it’s such a long way to go! I’ll have to go up to Scotland – it’s kind of similar if you travel north enough – and the sort of place I could ‘lay in a stock of sharp pencils /
marry words / to make sense of all i see.’ 🙂

Alaska sounds so wonderful… fortunately northern Scandinavia has some similar features… but to nest with pencils sounds perfect
October 25th, 2016 at 6:12 pm
I can see you flying and building that nest … you already marry words in the most perfect & profound way. love that image!

It is an amazing place. I think one of the best things about traveling is the chance to marry words to what we see. I suggest not going in June, though. I went in 1996 and still haven’t defrosted. Sorry I wasn’t writing at the time.

Alaska is a place I would love to see one day and I love your opening line ‘in my dreams I fly’.
October 26th, 2016 at 2:02 pm
Love the usage of ‘marry’ words…..an expectant poem!
October 26th, 2016 at 3:28 pm
Oh, YES:
“marry words
to make sense of all i see”
I do. I do. I do. Forever.
October 26th, 2016 at 7:07 pm
Now that sounds like the perfect vacation.
October 27th, 2016 at 2:04 pm
Love that you chose a specific place for your “landing”. A beautiful and surreal dream, this is. Thanks for a wonderful prompt.
October 27th, 2016 at 2:48 pm
This is gorgeous. I just love it.
October 30th, 2016 at 10:37 pm
I like this post and the idea of flying. To take flight with your words and to make sense of it all. Bliss
November 29th, 2016 at 7:49 pm
As much as I do not like flying in a plane the idea of flying as a bird with that kind of freedom captures my imagination.

I’m sure you’d have many companions on this trip, now ~
