You should see my mountain,
There's beauty everywhere
It's down in Alabama
A site beyond compare

Leaves of many colors,
Beauty extraordinaire,
Natures glory showing
For all of us to share.

Chameleons can change color
Lilacs turn to blue
Spring brings out how nature
Can change to glorious hues.

There's little that can compare
To what our eyes can see,
It can't be purchased anywhere,
That God gives us for free.

Kodak cannot reproduce,
The colors that he'll show-ya
Nor a box of simple crayons
Offered from Crayola

Colors hallucinogenic
And no drugs you have to take
Just look down off my mountain
God's splendor can't be faked.

it is true to every poem written by the mother nature...our little devices can not catch its beauty.

clever talks delay friendship!

And you said in another post that you never claimed to be a poet.  This is pretty poetic and very lovely.

I have never thought I would want to go to Alabama ... until now.

Toe the Mountain Man

I would like to see Toe's mountain,
For all it's beauty everywhere,
So I'm heading for Alabama
With lilacs in my hair.

In this place of many colors,
Dwells a man extraordinaire.
He's a piece of Natural glory,
All women would like to share.

Most men are just chameleons,
But Toe's a man true blue.
He rises the sap in women,
And their cheeks turn pink in hue.

There's little that can compare,
To what their eyes can see,
For what he has comes naturally
And God gave it to him, free.

Kodak cannot do him justice.
His beauty, it just can't show-ya.
Nor can a box of crayons,
from that company, Crayola.

His virility's hallucinogenic,
There are no drugs, that men can take
To make them like this mountain man,
~ Toe's splendor can't be faked.

Author Unknown

P.S. Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
~ You really did write a divine poem!
