I will admit I was a tightwad, though that fact shames me now,
As never changing mountains, often colorful mists will allow!

Then that piercing scream
ripped through my heart
heart pounding and
pumping, feet
pounding,...

meaning its telescope-imaged skies
with those stellar tableaux afloat,

Brilliant, grandiloquent, magnificent, trenchant...
albeit modest word zealot

Writing prompts burst asunder
snap, crackle, and sweet Mary poppin
within me scrambled noggin
