Mount Rainier Comments

And thanks for sharing the beautiful pic.

Beautiful poem. Thrilled to read. I am reminded of my visit to Tiger hills at Darjeeling and watching the sunrise. Clouds/fog failed us twice. But on the third day, we could watch sun rising, shouting through the mountains, as Ruskin Bond has written in a poem on Tiger Hills. Thank you for making me relive the experience. I know, the winter has set in in the US. Hope it is not severe on you. Take care Sir. All the best. -Unnikrishnan

Though I can appreciate your disappointment on missing out Mt. Rainer, yet I am happy to note that you have stumbled upon a loftier thought. If life, after all is just a dream, the reality that we experience now may also be evanescent., , ,10

I am sorry you could not see our Mt. Rainier- I apologize for his elusiveness! ! ! ! My father-in-law has a ton of pictures of that mountain because he'd ride his horses and mule along the Pacific Crest Trail and take pictures- - often looking down on some mountain tops or straight across at others, their peaks quite above the clouds as was he! ! ! Hope you get to see that mountain the next time! ! !

Count me as one of the stupid minds. Yet at least aware enough to know that I am. Against mortal blues of an empty sky we go about our day. Lost in self importance. They say that the achievement of reaching or attaining is not the thing but that the journey is everything. You raise your eyes Madathil and raise your pen and we all benefit from your aspirations............splendid.

Very artistic n poetic write. You are a keen observer of Nature n you have a flair for capturing all its moods. I'm happy Nature inspires you to write such beautiful poems. I as a reader learn a lot. A big 10.

The poet inside you couldn't stop from writing the beauty of Mount Rainier hiding behind the clouds... BEautiufl poem which caught the readers eye. Thanks for sharing this beautiufl poem

For a close encounter I craved...............i love 'nice' alliterations! i'd never have guessed the mountain was thinking. i thought it was just watching humans watching IT! As snow-flakes flew around The board before me read You were somewhere there Amidst mighty peaks Right before my unseeing eyes................i'm not sure this is all one sentence (as i spy no punctuation) , but i ........................................................................like it a lot. the last stanza is, perhaps, too philosophical for me, but some readers will eat it up, ..........like i shall eat up a big (enough) breakfast after i return from giving a sample of my blood in half an hour; it is my donation to an annual physical exam, and to the doctor's retirement fund. didn't God/the Lord have somethin' to do with mountains? or was that His Son? ? to MyPoemList. better luck next time, Madathil! bri :)

Just fantastic ! ! ...... I am moved by the metaphysical contemplation you have drawn from the sheer sight of a cloud ridden mountain! Beautifully penned! Seattle seems to have revived the poet in you! ! I think I have to chase my muse somewhere else!

I am really charmed by beauty and philosophy of this poem.To quote a stanza- - - You were somewhere there Amidst mighty peaks Right before my unseeing eyes Doesn't matter Rainier You are there, I know for sure Like the Himalayan peaks I haven't seen And yet am charmed by their beauty On calendars, picture-cards Inherent philosophy Their height and grandeur speak
