Alpine Scenery

Across the Swiss and Austrian Alps brutal gusts steadly blow, calling for heavy snowflakes dancing as lost butterflies... falling as summer's lonely stars. Ginger bread smells good, honey in tea is superb; I inhale the steamy swirls that jackrabbits love to smell. Kaffe Klatsch is strong lurching through their nostrils, making them too hyper. Northern Italy's wooden shacks over the wide, frigid vallies... point to a warmer South quiet only at evening or night. Roam as deer on snowy slopes, stunning is the alpine scenery: trees as tall as redwoods ululate louder than hungry wolves... vulnerable to snowdrifts' attacks. Watch the skiers having fun, xelophones making music, yummy polenta being eaten... zealous alpinists singing.
