Mountain Strain

Mountains sew the sky beneath clouds In a blue dress, uncommon bride — Those peaks a pressure seems to shroud; Mountains sew the sky beneath clouds With no consciousness of ~her crown~ — The heat of rain cleancut as white, Mountains sew the sky beneath clouds In a blue dress, uncommon bride.

Paige, this is beautifully stitched--your use of repetition adds such a graceful tension. “A blue dress, uncommon bride” is a stunning image, and the line “no consciousness of her crown” really lingered with me. This one feels both delicate and powerful. Gorgeous work.

The imagery is sublime and inviting. I enjoy the repetition of how the mountains sew the sky in a fantastic triolet. I have visited western prairie vistas where I can envision the scenery coming alive as you have described.
