Richard Mcclellan Poet Free verse

Green Mountain

Oh majestic peaks,

standing so tall,

the points never meager,

uplifting like the beautiful dowager.

~*~

The greenery covers,

like a flock of plovers,

and a blanket of fibrous wicker,

near the rocky slopes that flicker.

~*~

The sunlight is poking through,

and a wall of clouds of suspended dew,

a stand of conifers abridged,

growing across the green mountain ridge.

~*~

Oh Green Mountain, so rich in seeds and nuts,

like the early bakers torte,

your cool mountain streams,

cleanse thy body and make me gleam.

Ann Roske March 20, 2012 at 10:18 AM enjoyed this very much - sounds like a view in the pacific northwest. Richard Mcclellan March 20, 2012 at 1:58 PM I was looking at a picture, it didn't give me the location, but I suspect it was Washington State or Oregon, or maybe even Ireland/Greenland Area... It is a beautiful picture. You can see it at Booksie.com/razorblade . The same poem is posted there but has the image with it. I can't do that here...
