your lips turn a lovely shade of blue
as we struggle along these mountain trails….

Want to read more? You can. My poem sailboats on a mountain is available to read at the Tupelo 30/30 project page.

The prompt I received for this was from Stephanie Harper. You can find her wonderful work at SLHARPERPOETRY. You definitely need to check out her wonderful work.

You too can sponsor a poem or just donate to Tupelo Press to ensure that poets’ voices can be heard through the vehicle of indie presses. Go here for more details.

  2. YES! I love my poem. I love how you worked in both all that is/was lacking at 11,000 feet, and all that comes in to replace the lack under that cereal bowl dome. Terrific work, Charles!

    1. Thank you so much. I was worried you wouldn’t like it, but I’m glad you do. I tried to work in that oxygen deprivation we talked about.

      I’ll get you your typed version as soon as I can. But I’m a slow typist on a manual. How soon is your birthday.

  3. Haha! My birthday was last week (in the midst of the oxygen deprivation we talked about)!

    I can’t believe you even have a manual typewriter! Anyway, there’s no rush… You have a year! 😉

    1. One letter at a time.

      It’s an old Remington from the 50s my father-in-law gave me. I had it restored and I keep telling myself I’ll use it. 😉

  5. Stunning poem which gave me a sense of the little battles with which one struggles in attempting to conquer nature. Even the tiny sticky pine needles turn out to be great annoyances. I ended up hobbling towards the end of the mountain trail; eager for oxygen and television. Superb work, Charles.
