Ice Capped Mountains(Tanka)

by Jad   Sep 16, 2010


-Glistening mountains-
Frigid above the earths' ground,
Standing in beauty.
Casting her cool wind downward,
Cloaked with her still morning mist.

________________________________________________

    That was brilliant, I have recently started practice on haiku and now I might try some tanka.

    That was really good, great imagery throughout, captured me instantly.
