Mountains

Climb the terrain slowly, the nature's wonder is unfolding Look afar, the Rocky Mountain peaks are beholding Marvel the scenic wonder of rising bluish hues Catch the rainbow hiding behind snow covered views. Roam the glowing clouds with a dessert in the dining car Glance at the meadows of fiery red near and afar Cross through the Moffat Tunnel the Continental Divide Pass the Canyons by the Colorado River on a noisy ride. Wake up to the elevation of brilliant gold Aspen trees Lift up, the Sierra Nevada glows in snow dusted peaks Fly with the blue birds in the granite mountain breeze Meander among the chorus of falling golden leaves. August 12, 2017 Placed 2nd: Your choice (8) contest by Brian Strand Placed 6th: Mountains--by Julie Rodeheaver

Feel like gliding through a heavenly terrain watching and marvelling at the scenic wonders nature slowly unfolds ! A fulfilling experience as if gone on country ride and a mountain trek through regions partially veiled by snow. Lovely poem.

Phew!! Soup needs to invent something so we can make out which poems we have/not read! I'm pleased that finally I stumbled on this one...captivating. Reminds me of a documentary I saw about a train making its way through mountains and wild terrain. Regards // paul
