Barbara Gorelick Poet Quatrain

Alpine Flowers

Springing from the highest rocky crags
Tiny treasures, splendid  little jewels
High in the drifting blue alpine mists
Strong ladies, survivors of winters cruel

Soft yellow, palest pink and vanilla cream
Tiny bits of heaven, glistening like tear drops
Thrown with abandon on the gray strata
A rainbow promise on the mountain tops
