Poems From The Mountain
I live on a mountain. Here are some poems from my hours walking up and down her.
I’ve been on withdraw from social media and blogging. Finishing my novel. Thinking. Reading. Cutting out the noise. We all need a little time away.
However, I finally got my book of poems written in the style of the Chinese poets of the Song Dynasty done. I spent almost every day for a year walking up and down “Apante” to its high peak and cross. With my beloved dog Marshmallow to whom I dedicate this book. RIP.

Here is an album of photos from hikes up the mountain -a random selection to give you an idea of what I was doing, where I was. Reality.
The book contains a forward explaining why I wrote the book in the style I did. The directness I did. There are more poems included beyond the 50. Ones I thought fitting and written during this same time period 2020 - 2021.
