Dust and Snow

It’s beautiful only at its best Not a cold pillow to take rest The snow tucked into crevice pits Steep steeples where one can’t sit Aerial view indeed makes one awe To linger and trepidatiously pause For to hike in circles, like an eagle flies But on endless travail, by foot, not wise Volcano full of dust and snow Might finger you as part of its show It’s beautiful at its best— Volcano full of dust and snow 11/4/2021 Couplet except for last two lines

I imagine it would be gorgeous; it feels like winter now. Might snow here tomorrow!

Wow! Well enjoy that first bit of snow. Will be visiting Minnesota soon so I should feel the bite too!

After losing in yet another playoff run this year managing the heavily favored Houston Astros, maybe poor 'Dusty' Baker ought to sit on the top of this volcano. That'll turn the rest of his hair white, if his team's performance hasn't already. ~ Kaboom, Gershon

Hello Kim, the mountains are beautiful with a touch of snow on the very top. A volcanos with snow would not stay white very long. Hugs.
