Himalayas (NaHaiWriMo 2025, Day 28)

 

our small plane

slowly past the peak –

such vast white

*

so many peaks

smaller but not small –

stretching as far …

*

mountaintops

in all directions –

bright sharp white

*

I rode the air

to the Peak of Heaven –

and knew myself small

*

once upon a time

Mother of the World 

I gazed on your face

My response to the final prompt for NaHaiWriMo  2025.

Climber (NaHaiWriMo 2025, Day 27)

 

the climber –

a small dark speck

I don’t envy

Plateau (NaHaiWriMo 2025, Day 26)

the wild peaks

flatten over time

to a plateau

My response to the latest NaHaiWriMo prompt.

Crevasse (NaHaiWriMo 2025. Day 25)

crevasse –

gazing down, I imagine

bodies

My response to the latest NaHaiWriMo prompt.

Scree (NaHaiWriMo 2025, Day 24)

 

scree – a mass 

of small loose stones 

precarious

(This is also a found poem, found on Google; and an erasure poem, as I selected it from Google's text.)

My response to the latest NaHaiWriMo prompt.

Slope (NaHaiWriMo 2025, Day 23)

 

easy down

not so easy up –

the same slope

My response to the latest NaHaiWriMo prompt.

Hilltop (NaHaiWriMo 2025, Day 22)

 

after so long

a phone call from you –

this sunny hilltop

My response to the latest NaHaiWriMo prompt.
