I admire your softness from afar and regard my barbs
My prickled skin won't ever feel your touch
I love you too much
The #mountain I conquered is a perfect vantage point
And a great excuse to not let anybody close
#vss365 #poetry #poem

a child
gleefully pockets
a hand-size
unusual stone
from the foot
of a #mountain

a mountain's
pint-size
geology
now lives
by a jumble of
crayons

and
inside
a child's wonder

a toy dinosaur
or two
watch on

this #mountain was hard to climb
Peace

❤️💔❤️‍🩹
🤟here, there, and everywhere

betrayal is
a nasty situation
to be living through

i'd rather climb
a rugged #mountain
than be treated unfairly & abused

There are #mountain peaks
And valley plains
Never touched by flowing water
But traversed by man
That's Pandora's box
Lid lifted

#Photography

Men's hair
And worn skin,
On cannonballs
Penatrating the
Conway Castle
Walls

The Crown,
The view
From the
The mounain top

Its cursed,
No Queen
To nurse

Welcome back to the Pan-galatic Punk Picnic everyone! Today's dish is from the active mountain planet of Gravellus X, Bob!
Ko'l, #active #mountain? Don't you mean volcano?
No, Bob! This planet is home to sentient mountains!
Sounds like a rocky situation!
Ko'l groans.

"As long as we're careful, this problem can remain a molehill. Right now it's just potential, ok?"
The Word looked at him and said: "We are one. We both know we're in the beginning."
And with that, there was a mighty Bang...

These chains of obligation
we carry like beasts

Day after day
dragging our weighed down asses
up #mountain steep
to do what must be done
for glory unseen

No gold medals
to be awarded
on the hollow pedestal
of real life

Just self satisfaction
for a hard journey complete

#vss365 #poetry #poem

Into a
Reflection
My heart
Falls

Lost love,
O to bequest
My yearning

At the
Underwater
Mountain top
For you,
To undress
For you
To come and
Call
#vss365 #mountain

I climbed
The terrain

i traverse this #mountain
alone
with nothing but the burdens
of my very existence
refusing to keep their distance

On the first day of rock climbing lessons, the instructor told us, "The #mountain is beautiful. The mountain is fun! And if you do not respect it, the mountain will kill you."

John did not listen to the instructor. #vss365 #skywrite #microfiction

This life is a mountain. Icy. Cold. With blooms of colour breaking through, touching the sky. The air is chill, but it can be sweet. Find me the meadow, where butterflies glitter. Let my feet dream-hop there. You'll be waiting, I know.

#vss365 #mountain #writingcommunity #microfiction

ever feel the need to scream
blocking out
someone's inappropriate noise

she did but let it slide
to hide the hurt the pain the shame

instead finding a quieter way
to tame the frustration within

to rest upon a tranquil #mountain top
& calling it a win

#vss365 #poetry #skybluepoets

My fingertips feel like they've touched a #mountain of love
yet the skin feels eroded
the contours smooth
often I have been in the kiss of life and never felt its true depth
I wait among stones
just waiting
perhaps they already know my name

Christmas on the #mountain
First with my mother's family
First with snow
Everything strange
From the few I remembered
On my paternal side
Where were all the cousins?
Why didn't we eat collards?
Why was Santa so stingy
Just because we were
Six hundred miles away?

"You're making a #mountain out of a molehill." He rubbed his face, waiting for more. But she stayed quiet. He glanced up in surprise, she'd been so worked up and now silence. She was staring down at her hands, barely moving. She even looked like she'd shrunk."Elle."
"Forget it,you're right."
