I am sure that those of you who have walked along Alpine mountain footpaths have experienced the tranquility that I'm referring to....the full contact with nature, the whispering wind, and the melodious tinkling of cows' bells...

below snowy peaks cows graze peacefully on verdant slopes... tranquility tinkles within my soul --------------------------- Five Line Poetry Contest Sponsor: Rick Parise Placed 2nd

Paul, breathtaking in its beauty, this poem compels me to linger with it, to take time to absorb all of its loveliness, if that's even possible to do. Most poems you read, and some poems you feel, and I'm still feeling this poem, from my eyes to my heart to my soul.. I am touched by the serenity and charm of your words. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

I'm charmed by your reaction and the comments re this short poem, Susan. Thank you ever so much! I've been twice up Mt Titlis...a breathtaking experience! All you could hear is the tinkling of the cows' bells...the views, beautiful. ~ Warm regards // paul

Congrats Paul on your second place. I have heard those tinkling and I know just what you mean. PS If you haven't already, have a read of my Ode - 'A Rose by any other name... It's one of the observations we brought back from Japan - I hope that I've described the tranquility of the Rose Garden adequately in it ... Maria

Thank you for stopping by with lovely feedback, Pandita. The Alps are beautiful in summer when the slopes are all in green, while the higher peaks are still covered with snow. Hugs to you too my friend // paul
