Borders of the Alpine

Poem related to picture

An awesome crown of snow-capped peaks

along the borders of the Alpine.

While sun sips from brim of the morn

with sweet orange clementine.

In the snowy kingdom of another day 

firelight burning within an Alps chalet. 

While Venus shining with romance

within the twilight of windsongs dance.

Statuesque pine trees gently bow

upon mountain slopes on display.   

Midnight blue and pink velvet clouds

blossom within a flowery bouquet.

The cresent moon shines bright within 

the majesty of the Swiss mountains.

The flowing words of your sonnet took me on a magic carpet ride through the Alps...a place with great meaning for me since my father passed away in Switzerland. Gorgeous imagery in this well written poem. Lydi**

This is a lovely sonnet, Rose (there is a sonnet contest being held atm for Verse Magazine). Your words flow across the page so eloquently and with beautiful imagery. I could feel the snow and see the sunset perfectly. Beautiful, just stunningly beautiful.

Ah, a gorgeous descriptive poem - not there for anything except to appreciate simple beauties, a taste of winter as the sweltering summer descends upon us. I could see the bright orange on white as the taste of the clementine lingered.
