Across the Atlantic,
During Winter Break,
Beside the Arctic Circle,
Near a puffin colony,
Considering the troll tales of locals,
After a long day of whale-watching,
Amid a gelid wilderness,
From 9 p.m. to 2 a.m.,
In remote locations,
Outside civilization and the warm rental car,
Beneath a dazzling winter night sky,
Following the emerald-green, dancing lights,
We marveled.
Excellent poem, Meghan. Coming up with a good verb is one of the hardest parts of this assignment, and clearly you considered that because you came up with a good one: “marveled.” Nicely done. That must have been a great trip.
