Mountain Walks

A walk on the other side of nature

I took my mountain for a walk without a leash

Restraints don't come in gigantic sizes

We strolled along a path near by the beach

A sign stood out, No Pets Allowed Inside!

All rock ranges must be controlled according to the code

The ordinance must be obeyed by ridge and peak alike

Mountain climbs and crimes will not be tolerated

The law frowns on large landscape violations

Damage to valleys and crevasses is prohibited

Pick up your moving rock deposits

Don't fracture low lands even though they want it

They are too young to understand your logic

Carry cleaning equipment with you on the climb

Don't be like glaciers crawling along one inch at a time

No one likes liter, debris and slippery things

Glacier bags were not invented yet for dirt and ice

My mountain likes to swim in oceans nude

The notice reads, “No Large Land Masses or Diving Naked”

It has no suit but jumps in any way

A tsunami soon to follow

No surprise when many people drown

Ranges move along at their own slow pace

When no one looks they reach the top

Peak above the world where clouds hang out

Where I read to them about the clumsy cliffs

Till they slip into a coma oblivious or into sleep

It would be ridiculous to tumble from a mountain wouldn't it

I tell them that would be like falling off themselves

Boulders are forbidden to fall according to the signage

They must have a permit to proceed off anything

And be older than themselves for obvious reasons

Accompanied by an adult as they can't read

Walking mountains is for their own protection

Safety first but what if they get lost without a leash

If they should, just look for land, somewhere over there

It would be that large thing in the distance

Author's Note

I left no stone unturned to uncover this other mountain side and other nature. It is no mystery...or is it?

~ although i'm not a detective, so far (based on three pieces) i detect your disrespect for rules of all types... ~ your knowledge of geography as well as changing geographies is astounding... ~ more importantly, i like the idea of a pet mountain one could walk without a leash... ~ i especially like the stanza about boulders... it's very bold...

Hi Serah, Thank you so much for your insightful observations. I appreciate it. I'm not much of a pet person. I like the mountain because it is low maintenance and easy to find. I just look up and there it is. Have a great day. Earl
