Twin Peaks

I cannot think of mountains
without thinking of mine.
And how nice they are to climb.

Perched on the top
the view is sublime
of that valley of mine.

The Twin Peaks I call them.
Sharp summits on top.
Hold on...don't stop.

So smooth are the sides.
If you let go you might slide
down into that valley.

So lush and overgrown
you might never get home.
Forever lost and alone.

But why not enter Jan? Would the person be so offended as to require smelling salts to recover? The worst that can happen is a N/A, and I am well used to those now. Must look at your mountains now.

Honestly Daniel, every time I went down through the Contests list, when I passed this one, I couldn't think of anything else.
