A Large Vanilla Dish

The Rocky Mountain range
captures snow-toppings
like vanilla clumps,
sundae humped camels,
or dashing Orcas
perpendicular to our view

a sash of road hiding them
for a brief moment,
then erupting like white caps
confront imagination
scenic as mountain goats
exultant during morning’s chill.

Below craggy monoliths
the forest is a mat
of Fall leaves sprinkled
and yellow

spruce trees leap upwards
eager for the highest view
and lower, a meandering stream
exhibits its necklace
of reflecting silver.

Within the calm a snarl of wolves
are eager for the hunt.
