Visalia....(my home town)

Gift giving trees stretching high in countless rows
Berry budding bushes under frenzied feasting crows
The land of lushes lumber spreading life the more it grows
The modest miniscule manor is the might that no one knows.

Grinning...
Visalia is a beautiful place, placed well in your write.
The last line, contained several M words in succession...hehe...that could trip the tongue...
Loved the read...and the trip. TD

Sounds like the Red Woods or Sequoias. My Aunt lives near a park filled with those trees and camps there. One day I will see them. Beautiful poem.
