Hereupon this
vast space
of Xizang,
the yak is in its pen
next to the copper quarry
on the outskirts
of where
the upper delta
wades to
meet the
knotted beech.
This is for the Monday Morning Writing Prompt challenge.
Note to Victoria: I became way too far ahead of myself and ended up choosing one word for each letter of the alphabet. Yikes! This is as far as I could get using 14 of the words I chose.

/ December 5, 2010Yeah, Gayle. You did it. It seems like poems done like this have an eerie, otherworldly quality to them. I like the words you worked with. It conjured up an image of Tibet for me. Thanks for participating. Victoria

/ December 6, 2010I learned that the word Xizang is the Chinese word for Tibet. You got it, Victoria!

/ December 6, 2010Thanks, Olivia! So glad you liked this–I took Victoria’s challenge of choosing random words that I liked and here’s what showed up. It was fun.
Once again this year, we are experiencing temperatures well below normal–it will be down to 30F degrees tonight. I don’t really like the cold. But the sky is bright blue today and clear–no clouds. What temperatures are you having?
Love back to my soul friend… xoxo

/ December 6, 2010Oh, Gayle, this is a fine work. Well done. I appreciate it and the photo too. What we have learned from Tibet, but it’s nice to see it is written about just from a nature standpoint and so peaceful. Love yaks, by the way. Not sure why.
Have a great day …
Bodhirose
/ December 6, 2010Thanks so very much, Jamie. I love yaks too–and I’m not so sure why either…
Hugs,
Gayle

Bodhirose

trisha
/ December 9, 2010i wish that the country becomes independent but somehow i know that its just a wish, which will not be fulfilled.
Bodhirose
/ December 10, 2010As we have discussed before, when will the Chinese reap the “reward” of their actions?
trisha
/ December 13, 2010I sincerely hope that human beings will stop this atrocity against each other all over the world.
Bodhirose
/ December 13, 2010I sincerely have hope for that too.
trisha
/ December 14, 2010i am waiting for the day when human beings will learn from animals that peaceful coexistence is the only way of happiness.
Bodhirose
/ December 14, 2010I fear we may have a very long wait ahead of us…
trisha
/ December 15, 2010I have a deep faith that human beings are getting wiser.
Bodhirose
