Stealing Mountains

Garry

Stark edges of the skyline

Shades of grey against the blue

I’m capturing the mountains

And giving them

To you

 

But you say that you don’t want  them

Don’t need anything from me

& you toss them in the waste bin

But you still won’t set

Me free.

    I thought this could be about strup mining . Kentucky or West Virginia , where they strip away huge mountains , fill in river valleys with the debris . And you wind up with a flat landscape with no soil value unfit for growing anything but scrub pine .

      Interesting. Never thought of it in that context. Might enter it in a competion about the environment. Cheers

        Thank you.
        I've about 30 others posted up here earlier. Wide variety of styles. Mostly more macabre than this.
