Mountains of Bavaria

MOUNTAINS OF BAVARIA climbing, higher and higher. a breathtaking scene. horse and carriage clomps past us. an extraordinary castle in the mountains of Bavaria. lingering patience, as my thighs motivate their muscles, climbing ever higher to Ludwig’s sky. taking time to catch my breath. Neuschwanstein, fairy tale swoon of the Romance Road. the mountain chills in Winter, a wondrous white wool coat. Autumn spread of lime, gold and red cornucopia of colors. the castle built for length of years, not so for the King. but i, feel energized, as we approach the kingdom’s entrance, spying the height of the Alps we’ve climbed. the divine breast of paradise. 8/8/2017 Free verse Mountain Contest

Thanks, Dean! The hike was well worth it. So the beauty of the castle was meant more for tourists. A Disney draft.
