Poem 1: Alaska

Background:

The first poem I ever wrote, was in 2016. I had just come back from a fantastic Cruise holiday. I had gone to Alaska, and never in my life had I ever felt such inspiration. Some of you may have already read this, but for those who haven’t I hope you enjoy this.

Poem:

When you see things,

You never anticipated you’d ever see;

When you experience things,

You never thought could be felt, touched, seen or heard;

When the mighty glaciers,

Melt and fall in a matter of minutes,

After forming for years;

When you seek warmth,

In the slightest ray of sunshine;

When the whales tease you,

And swim right by your vessel;

When the curious Harbor Seal,

Chases your boat as you sail away;

Your perspective on life changes.

Travel the world.

Don’t be static.

Explore and have an adventure.

Your travel diaries aren’t about the destination. They are about the journey.

Don’t stop exploring.

Until next time,
