A golden eye squeezed open
and greeted the misty morning haze
with a shiver, unable to shake the chill.
Even a fiery display of color
couldn't warm fall’s cold.

...a golden eye squeezed open...love this and the picture is fantastic
my 160 is here
This is vividly beautiful MM. I was captivated from the first few words. The entire poem is wonderfully cohesive.
Wow, that is beautiful! 'A golden eye squeezed open' - What a wonderful 160!
I've done mine too. :-)

Hi Monkey Man, I've come to play today. :-) I like the rhythm and pacing of your poem. It is what I think a crisp, cool autumn morning is.
Su-sieee! Mac
This and That. Here and There. Now, Sometimes Then.
I used the word shiver in mine, too, and I wasn't even talking about Fall.
Mine is here
A beautiful 160 :o)
ah there is a rather chill to the air this morning...the eyes has not risen yet though so its still dark as pitch...nice 160 monkey
my 160
Fall's chill has been in the air for a few weeks now, here in Ontario. I know about sunrises seen but not felt...but no spectacular mountains to view them against around here, though. Fabulous shot!
Mine is HERE .

I think you've outdone yourself with this 160, if that's possible. The poem is stunning just like the picture.
HERE IS MINE

Gorgeous picture and love your 160.
Mine's here.
Love that eye of gold
That can't defy the cold!
Very nice.
Beautiful, MM. And the photo is amazing. I once flew into Portland and saw Mt. Hood's peak up close and personal from the plane window. It was about as close as I ever want to come to a mountain peak while I'm in a plane.
I'm in with a little a wildlife fun
what a perfect picture and a chilly 160. I guess there is no turning back - winter is coming
mine is Cracked
Thanks Keith for graciously doing this hosting biz week after week.

Perfect 160 to compliment a gorgeous picture.
Very ethereal. I had to say something, cuz my brain was stuck on the Eye of Sauruman, from Lord of the Rings. Sorry, I read too much sci-fi and fantasy.
mine is up, happily this time!
HERE
have a chilling week!
Gorgeous!
Wonderful imagery. Yesterday was the first day that I felt fall's cold.
that is paradoxically beautiful image. Happy fall.
Oh, monkey man, monkey man...sorry I like your blog. It's your fault. Write worse. You don't have to "recognize" the award if you don't wanna. The point was that I was calling out blogs that I haven't been following long, you primate. Blog writing & colon cleansing could be a tough combo. :)
