Haiku – To a California Mountain
Haiku ~ to a California Mountain
(From A to Z)
awesome, stupendous,
quiet, dynamic glory
in timeless passage.
inspiring “Half Dome”
Yosemite’s kingly view –
verticality.
magnificent jagged,
bathed in Luminous vastness-
behold prescience.
breathtaking élan
aspiring to elegance,
sharp Xerophyte peaks.
majestic, noble caps,
ubiquitous and restive-
this wondrous zenith.
omnipotent crags
fragmentary precipice,
hauntingly quasi.
