Our Natural Skyscrapers

On every continent
They rise so tall
So different they are
Some are even small

Their architecture
Delights the eye
Its taken many years for them
To reach our skies

Their contour and shape
Are a horizon of delight
Captured by the sun and the moon
Day or night

Our eyes are our windows
To admire and view
Where ever you are
They are close to you

The tallest and proud
Through the clouds and the vapours
These iconic giants
Are our natural skyscrapers

Well written, James. It flows and with it takes the mind to hillsides and mountains. And as you say, they are most beautiful natural skyscrapers. I enjoyed this write. Thank you for sharing, Dane Ann

Very descriptive and expressive write about those mountains that are so beautiful whether covered with snow or trees. Keep the nature writter's pen flowing. Fill us with wonder and appreciation of the natural world. Sara
