Sunday 160, Look what the low pressure system blew in

clear horizon a day away

I want to be

where sky touches trees

the wind whips my face

the ground meets me

scrambling granite

shouldering pack

leaning back

into the sky

This is a flash fiction poem in exactly 160 characters with spaces included, all I have time for by the way.

    I can tell that your muse is back, and back all rested and raring to go. That is such a lovely poem. Now that I think about your comment on my post, I've decided that your muse just needn't you to pay some attention to her. There's a lesson for us all in that.

    I have to say I left you a comment on the FF55er the other day, and I see now it did not go through?

    I left a message for the S-160 I hope that shows up? Let me know it if doesn't and I will repost comments for both?

    Cheers,
    joanny

    I can think of other places I'd rather be but not many Di. Good one.

    it's lovely, i particular like how the vigorous style mirrors the mood of the picture, the energy and freshness of the body prepared to melt into and become a force of nature!

    A fine poem that strikes the right chord for everyone who reads it. I especially like the final lines: "shouldering pack/ leaning back/
    into the sky"...
    Cheers for you!

    I want to jump right into that photo and travel that day with you, Dianne! Hard to believe it would be a day away, but I can see the distance. My mind wants to do a single leap to that farthest peak immediately.

    Such a tremendously wonderful poem and photo to go with. Thank you.
