That was incredible...Nicely done sir.
The recurring "where" theme set the stage for each stanza and bound your narrative.
I wish I had a six for this.

Thank you for going back and reading this, Mark. I'm honored to have you on board and the mention of the six didn't hurt a bit! Lol. Thanks again, my friend.

My pleasure sir.
I'll be reading more of your work soon. Both for the enjoyment aspect and what I can learn from it.
Comment from Loren .
A truly beautiful love poem. Spoken of loss and I think even of unrequited love. Your imagery requires thought and reflection and isn't that what a poem's supposed to do? I think it is and you've succeeded. Loren

Thank you, kahpot for the great review and kind words about my poetry. I use it to clear my head. I have written a few dozen pieces all posted here but I don't consider it in my wheelhouse. Thanks again!
Comment from Kaiku
Quite honestly, not sure how one really reviews certain works that are rather cryptic in nature. By that I mean, shingled peaks must refer to homes and `its vastitude now lessened to doctored timber` must refer to the felling of tress for commercial use. I use the word cryptic only to explain my lack of a vocabulary.

alright then.
Comment from Wendy G
Wow, that is indeed very lyrical, and filled with beautiful imagery. Then hits the reality of "city's glare', which makes it a very thought-provoking poem about the contrast between nature, and man's role and habits. Well done.

Comment from irishauthorme
Liked this! Your picture of the unspoiled, snowy landscape sure described our wintery Wyoming!
One of the reasons we live here is the vast, almost virgin wilderness, so many antelope, deer, elk, and moose. We tolerate the predators, grizzly and black bears, and the newly transplanted wolves.
The winter season is taken in stride, even the 20- year cold, 37 below two weeks ago, 28 below last night. Spring is a great celebration here!
We are finalizing our garden seed orders, and praying that our fruit trees survive.
Good work, beautiful pictures!

Yikes! On your temperatures. I guess there are worse winters than in upstate NY. LOL. Anyway, thank you for the great review, my friend!

I enjoyed reading your poem. Nice job and well done. Your words flowed well in your writing and made for an easy read. The photo was a nice touch to your poem, and made it more enjoyable. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Ric Myworld
As I've often said, when it comes to poetry, I wouldn't know a sonnet from sorbet. And almost never do I use any of my sixes to reward anything but prose. However, if I had one to give, I'd certainly have to give you one on this to reward it properly. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, my wonderful, handsome friend! When I write poetry, I'm never expecting a six. I write it with the chance to clear away the cobwebs in my prose. So, for me, they're very much connected.
I will take all your honorable mentions and put them in John's poetic therapy coffer. Thank you again, Ric!

It's always a pleasure my friend! Ric
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
Geez, John, you should write poetry more often. This is quite exceptional. It takes one back to a time "before man", then introduces his gradual ascent to dominance over the land. And your vocabulary! It shines in this piece.
You're going to have to step away from prose a little more often if this is the result. Very nicely done:-)

Pam, thank you for the great review and the six stars. Yeah, poetry clears my head and keeps me sane, lol. Thanks again, Pam. I appreciate you.
Comment from karenina
What can be said? I read your free verse and am transported to that unsullied place, as yet, untamed by the arrogance of man, his avarice, his need to possess that which he can never embrace or understand.
"His Timberland print thus blackens the virgin white of snow. And now--the beast is still..."
What a brilliant writer, my friend! Gift us your poetry more often!

Thank you, Karenina for the six! I can always count on you for that boost of poetic confidence I need. I couldn't think of a better mentor. Of course, if my muse had to survive on it, it would surley wilt away, lol. Thank you again for your support. It means so much.

You return the same, in kind...
I appreciate you!
