Painted Mountain

Mountain of a thousand colors
clothed in Autumns dress
kiss the earth 'O' Wondrous mother
painted world - flora's caress

Trembling giants bathe in light
quaking Aspens touch the sky
as guards of lore and fabled sprites
gift boughs of shade through watchful eyes

Crystalline river of indigo
give life to minnows, carp & trout
breach high the soothing waters flow
while gadflies rove and dance about

Symphonic winds sing casting spells
valley grass begins to dance
whips through the mountain copse & dell
warblers dance for new romance

'OH' iridescent color thief
on painted mountains dwell
with wings draw patterns of motif
boreal sounds of tinkling bells

Poet Destroyer A Date: 3/25/2016 6:44:00 AM OMG ... you know you have skills and are amazing. You pinned and painted a mountain, I sense the imagery is one to enjoy, by lovers , nature, and the artist, a thief. A perfect 7 poem....
