Untitled #76 / Crisp Snow

Crisp snow falls on the mountaintop
glorious and regal, the whole
universe gravitates towards him
and he sees it all clearly!

Baring Its Teeth

Deception comes richly,
new lies in its purse

Old wolves on the mountaintop
—Gideon’s curse

In the Distance

Wishes from the mountaintop,
dreamers from beyond

Shadows in the wind
—trapped in memory’s song

It’s The Climb Monoku: By Tom 6-3-2022 it’s easy to shout from the mountaintop, the difficulty lies in the climb.

Vision

Lost on a misty mountaintop
chasing Hyakoju's fox
distant vistas unclear
draws presence to what's near


an alpine flower
breathes through
the early morning dew


Go Above and Beyond

Go above and beyond
Always think large
Be your best
Be the one to take charge
Speak wise words of wisdom
Be courteous and sage
Rise to the mountaintop
Stay above the range

Premium Member The Serene Valley

From, my age's snow-covered mountaintop, 

I discern into the horizon of my life 

the serene valley of welcoming death 

where ends all of humanity's strife!

The Answer Is There Within

The answer is there within 
You have the ability 
Reach deep down inside 
There you shall find the victory 
Just get that degree 
And embark on your journey 
Rise to the mountaintop 
Make great usage of every opportunity

Mist

A moment in time the crocus bloomed
was this display there yesterday
When did those tender leaves upon
a fog draped mountaintop appear
above the mist and energy of life
a swirl of vultures await
the perfect inertia of decay.

Premium Member One More Dream

 The falling snow hushed the velvet night
 and crowned the mountaintop with snow
 Beneath warm quilts, her dreams took flight
 She was slow to rise in the morning's glow
 Because she had one more dream to go

Love In the Round

In you I’ve discovered a love-in-the-round
With mountaintop views and ear-singing sound.
You’ve fashioned a circle that serves to surround-
Securing the soft spots you’ve sought and then found-
My heart, now shaded and shored until Sound.

Premium Member Pitching a Tent

Build your home on the riverbank
and the river will fashion sticks
build it upon a mountaintop
and the mountain will make planks
place your bones amongst the stars
and they will giggle lightly
pitch a tent in heaven
and forever shine brightly.

Premium Member Mountaintop Cookout

To Huskey we go, a cookout for dinner,
With six grandchildren, a definite winner.
The evening cool, the fire pit hot,
Some soup heating up in a cast-iron pot.
Seems life’s pretty sweet here in Lacey’s Spring;
Lottery? Nah, I’ve done won the whole thing.

Rider

I saw the rider once again
on a distant mountaintop
he didn't wave, he didn't stop
just turned his back and
rode away

I've seen him once or twice before
always the same, never changes
he watches me from afar
but always rides away
it's a mystery to me

Premium Member Feelings

When life drowns you,
swim with all you've got
like the ducks everyone tells you to get in a row
instead of sinking to the bottom
and giving up on life,
I will shout on the mountaintop and
let words take over my mind, so I can then
let them flow into poetry

Mountaintop

A treochair poem  (not on list, pls forgive)


Grandiose,
A snow-capped mountain,
Has a regal summit to boast.

So serene,
The power of God is revealed,
In so so white-frosted sheen.

The moon shines,
Dancing on the snowy caps.
Making shadows in the night.

Premium Member Tap Dancing Freedom On the Mountain Top

taping dancing freedom
on the mountaintop


tiptoeing
the mountain top
we slipped

fell like children
of Sisyphus

shooting galleries
caught us

life’s struggle
is over

weep not child
tomorrow comes
bearing new beginnings

if you believe
in the beginning

Mountain Top

Mountaintops

Mountaintops –
Barren rocks,
Scrubby brush,
Nothing grows there.

Valley view –
From mountaintop,
Lush, green growth,
Teeming life.

People can’t grow on a mountaintop.
We grow in the valleys of life.
People can’t stay on a mountaintop.
We return to toil and to strife.

Cloud, Shadow, Dew

Three Haiku 8--10 

8.	
Stepping on the cloud   
wipe the sweat off from forehead 
it’s a mountaintop    


9.	
a lonely shadow  
stands by a riverside where    
snow falls on the water  

10.
wet by the morn dew  
fragrance of the sweet roses  
drifts in the crisp air

Yet

MY HEART 
HANGS FROM THE MOON
BY DELICATE STRINGS
PATIENTLY WAITING
FOR YOUR CALL
MY SOUL RESTS
UPON FEATHERY CLOUDS
IN SOLEMN SLUMBER
UNTIL YOUR RETURN
MY LOVE IS SOLID
STANDING TALL
ON THE MOUNTAINTOP
IN THE BLUE DISTANCE
STILL AS STATUES
MOVED ONLY BY A WORD.

Premium Member Against the Odds

Listen to poem:
from up the mountaintop
the view glows
it’s so serene
and time hovers
surreal in nature

under a moon that has her eye
on all that’s calm below
the world has agreed 
if only for a moment to pause 
and set its differences aside

Transfiguration

This scriptured event
Is our common experience..
We stand alone
On the mountaintop 
Knowing our Self..
With due respect to our
Teachers standing on our
Left and on our Right..
Standing alone births
The Freedom introduced
By teachers remembered 
But only really known
As we stand alone...
