Mountain Fever (Free verse) by Celticai
The wind sends its breath Across my body – my mind – my soul Standing amidst these mountains of time I’m sensitized Energized… Joyous to be alive, wild, and free. My heartbeat accelerates Skin flushes with rosy tones of ardour I tremble and shiver in responsive anticipation. To be at one with the earth spirit that swirls around me Surrounded yet alone Selfish but compliant Finding the summit wondrously. I am on top of the world – a perfect moment in time.

Down the ladder: Fear

perfect! I don't know what to say...I feel like I am sitting on a mountain in Peru. Thank you

If it resonated for you and touched your spirit, I am a very happy person! Thank you.

Sort of New Age. Are you a painter?

No I'm not. New Age influence definitely as I'm Wiccan.

As someone else wrote on one of your poems--"get out of my head!" Feels very much like something I would have written ten years ago (though I never really went for staircases).

That said, I find a lot of your words redundant (and in such a way as to render their compatriots less powerful). And the piece as a whole is missing some novelty, flow, or something to set it apart from a multitude of poems like it. Perhaps you can make it more personal?

Thank you Nentwined... I suppose the my verbosity overflows into my poetry. I speak very much as I write - just like Regency Ladies - twittering mindlessly, repetitiously covering the same inadequate sayings endeavouring to get my point across. I appreciate all the comments I receive from others on this site.

No one has actually commented on the intent of the poem. I've received many talking about the 'nature' of this poem - that it is about landscapes and one-ness with the earth. It was actually about seeking an orgasmic experience.. go figure.

Then either it's not a very good poem, or we're not very good readers.

I'd go with not a good poem personally.
