These are The Pastel Mountains
as sculpted by the sun,
blurred lovingly by heat haze
on a day that's just begun.
These are The Fairy Mountains
on which bright pixels dance,
and wandering through their valleys,
the mind is in a trance.
These are The Peaceful Mountains
where never wind has stirred,
where no sound breaks the silence
except the sound of bird.
These are The Slate-Grey Mountains
prospectors trod of old;
their jaggedness their beauty,
their colours come from gold.
These are The Jinksy Mountains
(not Jinxy, understand),
which if not wholly natural...
Blow me, they're Jinksy-planned!
You thought them just a picture?
You're wrong, my friend, you're wrong:
they're Land Art for the record.
She's another Richard Long!

Bless you for that, Dave! I never knew I was building a range of mountains - just for Blogland! Hehehe!
Your words just trip off the tongue, Dave. Jinksy Mountains - what a tribute to have a range named after you;-)
Easy to recognize Jinksy Mountains, isn't it, colorful and serene and fun.
Jinksy Mountains - wow! It is an adorable poem. Brought a smile :)
Made me smile. And nice picture, they could be lots of different things.
Love The Fairy Mountain idea, a brilliant poem and very fitting to be linked with this wonderful piece of art.
Excellent stuff Dave.
Anna :o]
Thanks for that Dave - I have just joined Jinksy's thing and really hadn't a clue what I was supposed to do.
Oh, this is fun and whimsical! Love it all, but especially

Mountains are almost as inspiring as forests, I think.

Thanks very much.
The Centre Court of Wimbledon must be a very inspiring place. This is a wonderful poem. Brought a smile to my face ;-)
Your words compliment Jinksy's painting very well!
Carolina
There is something special about the place, yes - even when there's no tennis!
Rose
Thanks for the nice compliment.
Love the painting and the poem - and the way you tie them together :)
Lovely words for a lovely painting, DAve.
