Sonnet

Mountain Top



Standing here on top of the mountain

Ready for, but afraid of what is to come

Cold and fierce is the wind for some

Yet some how peaceful, serene and plain

Looking for cues to guide me all the same

One board is all that is needed to and from

In one swift movement my song in sung

My thoughts are lost inside my brain



Swift and sleek down the mountain side

Fill with excitement deep inside

Are there many gazing at me

At times it feels like I’m in outer space

So high up face to face with a tree

I’m here again in this amazing place

  1. I really like this one. I love snowboarding myself (which is what I'm guessing it is about).

  2. I'm in love with the line, "so high up face to face with a tree"! I've never experienced that. I like the thought of a tree having a face. It seems as if the two are equals! On a form note, the sestet doesn't match any of the available rhyme schemes: c d c d c d
    c d d c d c
    c d e c d e
    c d e c e d
    c d c e d c

  3. It makes me think of the time I hiked to Jerry Johnson Hotsprings, but in winter time. I love that you did it about snow boarding. Nice work!
