Arctic Bright


Another little poem which I hope will be of use to educators and students of EFL.

Please feel free to copy for educational purpose or other, similar fair use, with attributions.


Arctic Bright




I dreamed last night of Arctic white
 of Arctic night,
of Arctic bright;
 below, the snow
above, delight,
a prancing sky, a firefly
 against the stark and dreary dark
of sun-forgotten sky.


Lights shine above Bear Lake. ( 64°42′N 148°30′W: AFB east, Bear Lake west)
