snow on the mountain – v2

with greater definition
able to see the outlines
of every hill, every crevasse
the features of the mountain
shining, preening
in the morning light.

as if standing taller
a picture day at school
Sunday best attire
appointed, hair coiffed
ready for the portrait
an image just right.

snow on the mountain
tallest in the state
autumn down below
October past peak
but eyes drawn to the mountain
a guardian o’er the land.

stillness of the morning
silence as I drive
bright sun in the sky
igniting the snow
the autumn world in shadow
in the valleys below.

the fields were alive with frost this morning
on NH Route 107 in Epsom, NH, Southbound,
with many vistas of white over the reeds and grain stalks, as
at 43.213132,-71.285279
going to the Deerfield Community School
