If you are a dragon the mountains your jagged back the trees and grass your hair the soil your skin then seated on your shoulders I ride as fire spews from your core and tears fall from the sky.
When I looked at this photo before reading the poem, my first impressions were of being calm, relaxed, and gentle...so it must be a gentle dragon... Wonderful photo!! Cheers
Great photo and beautiful poem. Having grown up up the foot of the Ozarks, I've always loved trips to the mountains. Yet, your poem has given me a new perspective.
This is a wonderful idea. I like it. I will have to take a photo that inspired me and try this. I love both the photo and the poem. It makes people look at the Land in a new way...a "living" way, which of course it is...alive, but sometimes that can be hard for people to grasp. This way, through story and imaagry, instills the feeling of the land directly in their soul. It would be a great way to teach children to notice the Land by making stories or poems from what they see. Just wonderful.
Poetry. It leaves me tongue-tied, though as time goes on, I am beginning to understand.
ReplyDeleteThis -- I like.
