Mountain crest frosted in cold snowy white Sparkling with countless facets of pyrite basking in the golden glow of sunlight With feathered wings, to the top I'd take flight Summit's beauty is enhanced at twilight Shadows frame the majesty of its height As the sun bows low, my eyes glimpse the sight of sheep scaling the mountain for the night Rising from the ground, like a stalagmite, stands this monolith mountain of graphite. Infused with the radiance of starlight, I pen the visions that bring me delight. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ August 25th, 2016

Hey Paul. I had some down time from editing this past week, so I thought I'd toss a few ingredients in the soup pot. I owed John a write since I missed his last contest, and he honored this one. Thanks so much for liking it!

Absolutely beautiful. The 'ite' rhyme is much difficult than what I used (I know because I tried) - I loved that early on in your poem I forgot that i was reading monorhyme. It flowed and utilized the rhyme without relying on it. If I'm to be truthful then any shared spotlight on me should be instead on you.

Only your humble nature supersedes your poetic skill. Thank you very much, Phillip, but your monorhyme write is wonderful! I appreciate your gracious comments ;-)
