her lines lie long as glaciers
creasing the brows
of mountains
skin tumbled
under avalanches,
she has weathered
winds ancient as moorland
& eyes dark like crevices,

Really great! I liked the staccato feel of the last line. Unlike a lot of poems I don't have a favourite line with this, it works so well together I couldn't break it apart. Thank you and good luck

I keep coming back to this - the imagery is fantastic.
I think the ending does make it interesting and different. A strong woman, to not look away.
Thank you for this entry

Best poem structurally of this round- Though that was somewhat expected.
I like the ending, very much.

I think the word 'fall' would be more effective if its letters weren't literally falling.
Besides that, awesome job.
