You should come and see my mountain, I wish I still lived there, It's down in Alabama, Beauty everywhere. Leaves of many colors, God's gifts extraordinaire, Nature's glory showing, For all of us to share. Chameleon's can change color, Lilacs turn green to blue, But nature at it's finest, Has unmatched colored hues. There's little that compares, To what our eyes can see, Nothing can be purchased That God provides for free. Kodak cannot reproduce, The colors that he'll show-ya, Nor can a box of simple crayons, Offered by Crayola. Hallucinogenic colors Without the drugs to take, Just look down off my mountain top, God's spendor can't be faked. [This message has been edited by Toerag (05-01-2003 12:29 PM).] |

Beautifully written, Toe. You are right, no painting or man creation compares to that of the Master Artist... Enjoyed!  Sunkissed. |

I love this, sweets... I've seen those Bama mountains (though maybe not yours *G*) blazing with color in both fall and spring... and almost ended up visiting them up close and personal when I paid more attention to the scenery than to the road. *G* It's an unforgettable sight that you've captured as beautifully with your words as anyone could hope to with a camera. *S* God does indeed create unbelievable, unforgettable masterpieces... thanks for giving us a glimpse of this one you love so much. *S* Your poem is a masterpiece in its own right. *S* [This message has been edited by suthern (05-01-2003 12:49 PM).] |

When I read the title, I thought that this was going to be an autobiographical poem!  This appeals to me more than you'll ever know! EA smiling... Lovin' hugs, Linda [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (05-01-2003 12:49 PM).] |

A serious poem from Toe?! Dang, Balladeer is spared this time  Nonetheless, this is beautiful and so true. I'm saving this in my library Melissa~ Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |

Toe...this is so beautifully written. You've painted quite a masterpiece here, and it reminds me of my visits to Alabama. My dad was born in Georgia and was raised in Georgia and Alabama, so I've been back there to visit family many times. It really is beautiful there, and you've described it wonderfully. Hugs, ~Vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truly met the poet. ~vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (05-01-2003 12:53 PM).] |

Toe, your words are as chameleon as nature...we never know what to expect...but we are always, Always glad to see them, and you. Even when you're causing tumult with, ah, LJA and B'Deer.... |

*sigh* the spirit and soul can fly higher than our dreams when we feel the magic of God's creation....Mountains hold a special magic to me that makes me feel transended....Stunning poem...and very much to my liking... |

Buzz, this is one of the most beautiful poems I've ever read. You really did paint us a picture of your mountain with your words. I'm going to keep thie in my library. One reason it's so special is that both my parents were born and raised in Alabama. I was born there, also, and lived there until I was in the third grade when we moved to Florida. I have lots and lots of relatives in your state. I've seen lots of those Alabama mountains, too.........Hey, can you tell that I love Alabama about as much as I love Florida? Gary and I hope one day to move back there in fact.  Hugs, Ethel [This message has been edited by garysgirl (05-01-2003 07:41 PM).] |
