Slim
serrated
silhouettes
of crater crags
cut through cloud’s
accumulations.
Sharpened under
steel-tinged sky,
staunch climbers cling
to knife-edge ridge.

Author Notes
Author's Note:
The photo shows The Breadknife (at right), a rare geological feature in the heritage-listed Warrumbungle National Park in northern New South Wales, 550 kms (340 miles) north-west of Sydney, Australia.
The main features of the Warrumbungle mountains are a series of huge, jagged outcrops in a roughly circular pattern, surrounded by hilly bush and woodland forest. The Breadknife, a volcanic dyke, is a narrow, straight wall of jagged rock nearly 100 metres (330 ft) high.
