Beautifully evoked in both image and atmosphere, Carolyn... How I long to visit for real! You convey the majesty so well here... and capture wonderfully the mystery, too. xx
I see you enjoyed that ride up the 395. There is a lot Mother Nature unfolds along its milemarkers and you have given it a fine description. My favorite though of all lifetime is 101. Beautifully written.
Beautiful eloquence!
For me, your ending is incredibly powerful and well, okay sensual! "landscapes formed of thrusting force / creation sublime"
Best Wishes,
Christine
Again, Carolyn,
that confidence making each word and phrase count, no frill, no waste, nothing frivolous to divert or distract (or annoy)...
and the images and certainly the reader are the better for it.
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
