Alps

A billowing cloud descends effortlessly from great heights
Languishing momentarily near ominous
Peaks, quietly resting,
Surrounding tree-lined unspoiled vistas, while exploiting yon  zenith



A poem written in the duel styles of ABC and Acrostics

Thank you Harry. Hardest part as it turns out was the acrostic.

most impressive entry because it reads as a flowing poem rather than just a random collection of words (which is the downfall of so many ABC poems), this is also an acrostic which makes it doubly impressive :-)
