Yosemite’s Grand Lady Poem by James Ronan

Yosemite’s Grand Lady

Rating: 5.0


Conceived on edge of rock and sky
Are snow melts dripping melodious beats
Forming rivulets that trickle leisurely by
Blending with springs from mountain peaks

Waters frolicking in a joyful cascade
Perform pirouettes on boulders firm
Casting shimmering lights on marriages made
With cold water brooks developing full term

By a languid stream with a rock strewn bed
Are trees attired with protective shade
Where brook trout are instinctively led
To quietude where eggs are laid

Tributaries bond in a final rally
Gently compelled by guiding stone
Sashaying through the stately valley
Where the Grand Merced is beacon home

Effective use of language to create a rich image. I agree with Susan.

James, your works could easily be seen in some travel magazine along with a picture. You really should submit some of them. Very very nicely done. And I thought I painted word pictures, you are much more refined than I. Susan
