The cabin <br />Set on Rocky Mountainside <br />Snow-capped peaks across the valley <br />Green meadow and wildflower below <br /> <br />Wood-burning fireplace <br />Logs piled high <br />Bacon sizzling on the skillet <br />Smoke curling through the pines <br /> <br />The dog barks <br />An echo rolls along the road <br />A bird in answer <br />Wings a song into the sky <br /> <br />L.A. is gone <br />A stone skipped upon a mountain stream <br />Washed into the sea <br />My boots crunch the needles in applause. <br /> <br /> <br />(Previously published in Poetfest Anthology, Summer 2000)<br /><br />Laurence Overmire<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/colorado-dreaming/
