This is a great entry for the 3-5-3 nature writing prompt contest.
The picture used is perfect to help enhance this thoughtfully composed piece.
The first line draws the reader in to fully appreciate the majestic nature scene and time. Nicely done and best of luck in the completion.

Excellent entry for the Nature 3-5-3 writing prompt contest.

I like the presentation too. Concrete images easy to visualize.

Good syllables count and connection between lines.

Good luck in the contest.

This 3-5-3, Standing Tall, has the proper formatting and shows the reader the forever mountains that were here long before us and will be here long after we are erased.

There is nothing more awe-inspiring than a mountain. None exist around me and I miss them. Indeed they do just "stand tall" their quietly "thwarting time." I like the alliteration of the last three words. Rod

A lot is said within these few words. I am a big fan of alliteration so your last line is a gem. Your poem feels like a Haiku - congrats on that imagery.

You selected a good photograph to pair with your contest entry.

Best wishes in the voting.

In your words, you invite us to feel the majesty and eternal beauty of mountains. You hand us the world in so few words. This is a beautiful poem. Good luck in the contest.
