covers hillsides
of California

then tongues of red devil

No finer sight the eye will see
Than the hillsides in May
A carpet of green spread out
So as to take your breath away...

between the mossy hillsides
canyon emerging...

When taken ill beyond the Gods
(For their hunger feels so endless)

I saw their hillsides-
Grazed to the ground

I found no witness....

Cold snap breaks time clocks
Freshly powdered hillsides reign 
Snow shapes make yard art

the ice-capped hillsides

are mirrored through the bright lens

of tiny swallows

Hillsides were ablaze
from sunlight's saffron fingers
Leaves fell like raindrops
from branches of ancient trees
What a stunning Autumn scene

A big concern during excavations
from granite hillsides is just
keeping limited mishaps near
observed palladium quantities,
reacting swiftly to utility vehicles
wanting X-rays yields zeroed....

Ancient architecture has recently been my joy
Carved out of hillsides, primitive tools were employed
Blows our mind
At what we find
Can't imagine how they did it, wows us humanoids...

glisten flowing streams
ravishing the hillsides wide
floral green valleys
~
cascading waters
soothing the land marshes grass
weathering wayward

Her world is as radiant as the sun,
golden as dandelions that cover
the fields and hillsides in springtime,
or the sunny faced jonquils and daffodils.

Tangerine skies over the mountains,
I sip a cup of Jo and
peruse the trees and hillsides
lighting up;
the spotlight stage is set
for another adventure.

Water falls off the hillsides;
Vapor mistily spits drops;
Within the moment of sunrise;
the lightening stops;
~
Water rains down again falls;
From the cloudy skies;
Evaporates air, dries;
Thunder shakes and stalls;

Ring in the spring,
The bluebells bob
As gentle breezes blow. 
We breathe a sigh
As we know now
There’s no more winter snow. 

The vibrant hue
Against the green
Bathes hillsides regal blue. 
Announcing to
The countryside
That summer will ensue....

The lochan calm, unruffled, in repose,
the wind retreated to the mountain top,
sky blue reflected in a shimmering haze,
and hillsides freshly bathed in summer hue.
With birdsong round the open door,
where early rosebuds greet the sun,
it’s then, with winter past, we may
give thanks for such a perfect day....

Hillsides aflame with orange, yellow, and red
Nature paints an exquisite landscape
During autumn, I resoundingly dread
Neighbors going to see colors, they said,
Getting away for their autumn escape.

 magical mountain
yon little crazed goat bounces
off the perfect rocks
~
bare spreading hillside 
a wild spotted big deer walks
enjoying himself
~
on green groomed hillsides
 there's wild deer dancing lingers 
in spite of the hunter

As hints of dawn's hues touch the sky
night sheds its dark blanket and flies
while tender light softens the way
to waken the richness of day.

Sweet scents mix with dew on the grass
reviving the hillsides and paths
trees brighten as birds sing their tunes
sun's warm rays coax flowers to bloom.

Listen to poem:

Groves,
parallel patterned rows
(hardly higher than bushes),
dot and stretch up hillsides,
looking from a distance
much like cornrows
on the tight tan scalps
of hip young New York
subway riders.
Luscious fruits,
at closer range,
mimic setting suns
boldly drawn in crayon:
oranges evoke essence,
name their own color....

Avalanche 

Avalanched blizzards' cold dustings 
           envelope: 
 forests, gulleys, hillsides--
intentionally juxtaposing life...
 making necrose obstacles 
   painstakingly quiver,
      releasing Snow!
             Tons!
Ubiquitous vagabond-wielding
        Xenophobics'... Yielding Zone!

Serene and vast,
are the fields of our earth,
colors of life,
rejoice giving birth.
Hillsides of foliage,
provides shelter for some,
as the planets still spin,
a mystery every one.
All sizes, and shapes,
God made us all,
colors of beauty,
short, and tall.
A Masterpiece He made,
for love, and peace,
we are the flowers,
you, and me....
