SIERRA TRAIL DUST, by RUTH CLAY PRICE First Line: Orchid-like, gold mimulus cling Last Line: With crystal dust and powdered clay. Subject(s): Sierra Nevada Mountains | |||
Orchid-like, gold mimulus cling To blackened granite above the spring. Skyline mountain, a pyramid block, Marked like an Indian picture rock. Red and yellow columbines Flame beneath the sugar-pines. Green-white aspens, bended bows, Curved by heavy winter snows. Powder-sweet the flowers grow Between the timber and the snow. Polished, blue gentians, lapidescent, Startle Sierra meadows, quiescent. Finally wind will have its way With crystal dust and powdered clay. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ASCENT TO THE SIERRAS by ROBINSON JEFFERS CLIMBING MILESTONE MOUNTAIN, AUGUST 22, 1937. by KENNETH REXROTH TOWARD AN ORGANIC PHILOSOPHY by KENNETH REXROTH DEAD IN THE SIERRAS by CINCINNATUS HEINE MILLER MILTON BY FIRELIGHT by GARY SNYDER SUNRISE OVER THE SIERRAS by HENRY MEADE BLAND AUTUMN SUNSET ON THE SIERRA NEVADAS by DOROTHY BOARDMAN SIERRA GRANDE DEL NORTE by CINCINNATUS HEINE MILLER |
