The Mountains

by Brittany C   Aug 30, 2011


Crystalline waters below
intense blue skies,
that hug the mountains
in their grandeur.

As they tower over me
making me feel so small, insignificant.
Breathing in the air
it is clean, crisp.

Waterfalls are found here
over flowing their boundaries, falling
filling the air with thunder and mist
creating little rainbows.

The birds are singing all around
and deer are playing in the lush meadows
wildlife is always near, blending in.
These great mountains are their home.

Seemingly untouched by man
you have to look hard to see our mark
for they are greater than us
and more then we will ever be.

    HMMMMMM a poem about nature...these kinds of pieces are tricky sometimes, I only tried to write about nature once:P:P and it was UGHHHHHH duhhhhhhh weeeeeeeeee ewwwww lol :)

    You have some touchy lines....no you have some MAGICAL lines! really but I too have suggestions that I hope you may take by them so that your piece will be something unique! ;)

    Clear blue skies,

    cliche, why thesse two adjectives..."blue clear" everybody writes this when it comes to describing the sky, why? be creative...
    you are in a good mood, right? then why not saying "chuckles of the skies"???:)

    That hug the mountains
    ^^^
    yay...skies hugging the mountains! lovely ...original. :)

    In their great grandeur.

    OPPS
    I know that "grandeur" means greatness, right?
    and great grandeur is really overdone don't you agree? :/ I don't know this just seemed a bit confusing and ...'weird'...
