the 10 of 12 given words:  
chill mountain trail yearning camp 
smoke vapour monarch birdsong current 

it gave  a chill thinking of the ascent
mountain high trail engaged with friends 
snake-like that gripped at the imagination
yearning for the fun of pitching camp 

smoke of vapour that screened the vision
where a monarch butterfly groped blindly
in anticipation of the strains of a birdsong
to break the current stillness of inactivity 

inspiration upwards to the sky insisting
for a friendly hand of a loved one to appear
not forgotten of moments shared now missing
warmth in memory of one long gone forever

  2. Hank. This sounds like perhaps you have climbed some mountains. There is a feeling that I can't express but you told it. I've never needed a rope to help but have climbed some easier ones.

  3. Some mountains are very hard to climb Hank. You have captured a wonderful verse here and real joy to read. Thank you.
