Alaska Wildlife

It was a trip I’ll never forget
The wildlife here and there
The moose I saw the biggest yet
And also a grizzly bear

The ptarmigan was a beautiful bird
And the magpie pretty too
Both a part of the wilderness
With a lynx there to pursue 

Happy were the many squirrels
Scurrying along the trails
Busy in the many spruces
and flashing their bushy tails

The timber wolves were also there

Hunting in their pack

Their tracking collars revealing them

To the rangers keeping track

 

The ravens flew with their heavy beaks

And the beavers built their dams

The martens preyed upon the weak

And the mountain had its rams

 

The days lasted twenty hours

And the animals kept pace with it

They were active most the day

and we didn’t mind a bit

    Good write, I would love to have been there as well.

      Thanks Goldfinch. Denali National Park was indeed very impressive!

    • Accidental Poet

      As impressive as Alaska itself. ; )

        Thanks AP. Alaska is so big we actually saw very little. I would like to revisit some other parts some day.

        • Accidental Poet

          I'm on the opposite side of the country, but I'd like to someday see Alaska also, in the summertime that is. ; )

            i went in June with 20 hours of sunlight i'm sure it would look a lot different in the winter

            • Accidental Poet

              Maybe 4 or 5 hours of sunlight in winter?

              • w c

                yes, something like that

              • Louis Gibbs

                Alaska is indeed a nature-lover's paradise, as your fine poem describes so well. Nicely done, WC!

                  Thanks so much Louis! I went to Denali National Park on my first trip. I'd like to visit the coastal area too some day.
