Beautiful image and stunning description of the wind rushing through the serenade mountains. Above all a romance! A beautiful reading experience that conjured up a tender love story

This is a lovely piece of writing. I don't know the area so the photograph helped. I thought it was going to be a love story to the area, but then you introduced a gal so it seemed to be to both intrinsically linked. I did wonder why the final stanza is separated from the rest of the work by being less bold. A poem should build to a strong end and by having the end less bold suggested the opposite to me.

    I have trouble with the editor sometime. So much thanks for your review and kind words!

    Ah, yes I thought it might be that. Yesterday I tried to turn a single word gold and it came out black. I had to keep changing it from being bold and italic, it was that which was blocking my colour choice. Did you get it sorted?

    Sometimes I just plain give up and go to regular font and background color because nothing I do seems to work.

    lol even that can bug out with a silver background and one word backed in white.

This free verse nature poem has some great action verbs. My favorite line, though, was: and prayed their secret psalm
to the Serenade Mountains
I had to go look up 'whisp' which appears to be a variable spelling of 'wisp.' Interesting read, pretty photo.

Beautiful poem of love with the haunting refrain of the "Serenade Mountains." You invoke the sounds and sensations and even the tastes that surround these memories.

Well Serenade Mountains sounds as though it is a spot of fond memories and an early love. There is a softness to the word usage and the image is good. Thanks for sharing. Take care and have a good day.

At first read I thought you had given nature human qualities but then realized you had compared the girl you courted to the natural features of the mountains. Either way quite beautiful. Thank you for your artistry.

Jim that is beautiful! Wow. A man who writes romantic poems. One of my most precious memories is my dad tucked into the hospital bed with mom singing her Hawaiian love songs. I need to write that story. I wrote home before dark about mom but that special reconciliation before she died was left out.
