Notes About The Poem

The Old Man In Blue Mountain


poetically see personification to please
the old man in blue mountain 
is not at ease angry is he
spewing blue smoke like a fountain

at the diamond lake someone stares
does he just look or poetically sees?
the angry old man's stone face now bares
a spirit once was loosed and free

one poetically sees the metaphors to please
the blue Sinai, the blue god, the burning mountain
one poetically sees the similes
man spewing smoke like a fountain

poetically see the old man’s face
mirrored in star lake below
the age lines are so easy to trace
as to heaven his bitter thoughts go

he folds his hands 'neath a diamond sky
spewing smoke out like a fountain
an angry figure with hollow eye
the old man in blue mountain
