Into the Wild

Inspired by the book "Into the Wild" by John Krakauer.

 

My excitement rises

I am almost there

I can feel the biting cold

And smell the uncharted wilderness

I go into the unknown

 

I throw my money away

I abandon my car

I shed this materialistic life

I head north to live off the land

I go into Alaska

 

Looming mountains, raging rivers, endless nights

Nature at its best

Everything I dream about

Just over that next hill, at my fingertips

I go into the magnificent

 

It is cold, it is bitter, this place that I go

It is an unforgiving place, for one little mistake can cost you your life

Yet I go

I go to this lonely, desolate world

I am ready, ready to go into the wild

Brilliantly written Natalia :) I wish I could just pack my bags and live off in the wildernesses for a couple of days or weeks. Sometimes we need to get away from this materialistic world and get back in touch with our roots!
Inspiring read,
I might have to go on a little nature walk today haha

Thanks so much for reading!

"I go into the magnificent," wonderfully written.

[Lyn Anderson]

Overall a well constructed piece that conveys the feel of the story. I don't know about the over repetition of the word "go" I would perhaps change out a couple for synonyms, but maybe that's just me.

It's hot in my apartment, but I could actually feel the freezing cold described here.

The stanza's cool and brilliantly written. I felt the feelings of 'Wild Jungle' through this piece. Thanks for writing the piece. I enjoyed reading the poem. Keep on.
