Terrain

Gorse covered mountains

Heather of purple tangled

In between craggy rocks

Just to please the eyes

Kaleidoscope of shapes and colors

Lingering memories the prize

I have been writing poetry since I was a child and it has helped in the good times and bad times. I am always looking within to find the answers to life's problems and to write thought-provoking poetry and prose. Thanks for checking it out. Christine

    1. Hi there,
      If you click on the word prompts under my poems it will take you to the 5 sites I use for prompts. I write most poems without prompts, as many of us do, but we incorporate those words into our work and link back to the “prompt blogs”. It builds your audience, promotes goodwill and everyone becomes a source of support and inspiration. 🙂
      Just follow those blogs and you’ll get prompts every day. Someone did a great list many blogs promoting. I’ll look for it and send it to you.

  7. nature’s terrain…lovely, like the phrase ‘just to please the eyes’…and lingering memories the prize’. Indeed isn’t that what nature does…gives us beauty that rests in our memory and enables us to get on with the days. Lovely poem.

  10. This is stunning! You’ve painted a kaleidascope with your words here and we are the lucky ones to enjoy the view.
    Might I also add, that is a stunning illustration on your blog banner. Is that you? It is an amazing image…I’ve gone back to it three times. Truly hauntingly beautiful!
    So glad you posted to the prompt! Happy to have you here today.
    (And apologies for not responding earlier — we are in Provincetown on the ocean for our annual two weeks of bliss. We live in Boston. Our daughter and her family live in Andover, MA. We happened to turn on the tv at about 5:15 last night and saw live coverage of the beginning of what turned out to be 70 gas explosions across three towns, including Andover. Could not reach our daughter for the longest time. A horrible feeling as we watched the tv helplessly. Finally at about half-past midnight….they had been evacuated but were just allowed back in their home. No electricity in the town…but they are safe and at home. Thankful for the blessings of a new day. So I am just now getting back to reading on the A-B-C trail and commenting.)

    1. Thank you for your very kind comments. 😊
      Im so sorry for the worry you had last night. Than k goodness your daughter and family are ok. I heard about the explosions but have not caught up with the cause yet.
      The illustration is not me but when I saw the pic I knew it represented me. Thank you again Lillian. It was a fun challenge!
