Delightful! Wonderful words and shape! But so sad. Still, thanks for sharing - I never knew about Sand Mountain. The memory and the poem are a treasure.

Yes, that final sentence really resonates with the poem's title.

I think , for me, the lesson here is that the works of man are ephemeral. I wonder what was seen in the view from the top. The final sentence leaves much food for thought

Jayne I loved this visual poem full of bold description and alliteration in the shape of a mountain. Favorite line: White
sand rising like a vertical, pristine
beach from dull pastures dotted with scraggy
scrub palms, languid cows, moss-draped oak
