Long Rainier Poems

When I look out my window 

And see the rain drops gently falling all around
And I feel that special Seattle kind of chill

In my bones 
I...

Mount Baker seen from my window,
is framed in his garment of snow,
towering over his neighbors and
admired from the valley below.
His beauty can't be disputed,
the poets and artists concur.
His jealous sister is angry.
He's taking attention from...

I have seen you flash by
Amidst thick green foliage and swaying pines
Like a distant silver dream
On receding skyline
But was never satisfied
For a close encounter I craved

The earth around trembled in dire anger,
As the fiery spirit Elf wandered
In the depths of the spouting volcano
Exuding thick feculent, fusty smells,

No! not about pits
they’re removed
the fruit sliced.
ugly in effigy —

the air turns
their innards
burnt orange.

to shoot straight
out

Through the pines, stands your white lofty peak.
Blue sky and white clouds, art thou's for-seek.
Over the lake, your reflection is cast.
Like a shadow, from out of the past.
 
Smaller spires, raise skyward to seek....
The big white...

Blue skies and green hills are pleasant to the eye.

I may go far and announce; 
That I hold love essence,
Deeper than the love of Rainier III to Grace,
Probably his passion;
Made him grieve in silence,
Conduct him to be imperfect with cigarettes.
Yet!
His love couldn't die,
Therefore...
