Baker's Dozen prompt scenery

 

 

 

The Mountain 

Around a curve a mountain sat

A curtain blocking out the sky

Stark gray

Green tint upon a closer look

Houses huddled on the hillside

Lonesome  

In the foreground lacy green trees

march up gravelly embankment.

Cheery 

Baby blue sky peeks over top

Wisps of white crest like frothy waves

Pristine

 

Last spring snow clings to crevices
White icing dribbled on bundt cake
Pleasing

Slate and copper mark the mountain

Looking bold and brave, and daunting
Ageless

So much beauty saddens the soul

I hop into the car, drive home
Regrets

But the valley holds warmth and peace

Safety and bustle of living
Friendship
