Friday with Hannah, a poetry day

 

Limestone peaks hidden by the green

Oh so lush, let's go in and hide

There in the park climb Tianzi

Mountain revered, named after saint 

.

Deep in China's Hunan Province

You and I can go in and hide

Aided by a farmer's spirit

We'll claim us a limestone tower 

.

Tianzi, "Son of Heaven", remote

We'll stay a year or two or more

Up towards heaven, above the clouds

We'll be alone in Buddha's shrine

Today I am linked with Hannah at Real Toads, Transforming Friday with Nature's Wonders , where she introduced us to the Tianzi Mountains.  Our instructions were to "Bring any facet of this place that you wish!" 

 

In 2000 we visited China, spending 23 days there.  We were about five hours from Tianzi Mountain although closer to the range when we spent a day cruising on the River Lijiang (Li) among similar but shorter limestone peaks.  Awesome is about the only word I have for that day.

 

Words Count

An Old Ford

 

An old flathead Ford

original, most

Alternator now

generator then

It makes twelve volts now

was six volts back when

 





Back in the 30's

up 'til '53

This one's a fifty-

one Ford pickup truck

Original most

color is two-ten

 

Cruising down Main Street

on Saturday night

Wife and dog up front

with the kids in back
