Best of Both Worlds The rolling hills of Northern Virginia surround my being rich with horse, and dairy farms. Nature wraps me in it's essence with birds singing, and woodpeckers drilling fancy holes. The heart of beauty on the outskirts of bustling reality, within forty miles Washington, DC lives. Best of both worlds depends on mood I can hustle bustle or just lay back let nature serenade me. |

Lost Dreamer - Sure sounds like it truly is the best of both worlds. I've been down there, and it is beautiful country. Terrific poem bringing back great memories for me. Bonnie |

I thank you all for your kind replies, mine is not as strongly stated and dedicated to pride so much as I have only lived here for a year, but it is much more beautiful than the State I lived and grew up in before now.  |

LD, a wonderful poem. I can relate to the nature side, I much perfer to play in the grass than hustle and bustle. really enjoyed this. < !signature--> ------------------------ "We Irish are too poetic to be poets, we are a nation of brilliant failures."

Great poem. I've never gotten to go to Washington, but maybe one day. And I'll be looking for all the beauty you described "within forty miles" of it. Take care. -darleina |
