If I Were a Foothill

If I were a foothill I'd live in Tennessee settled close would be a windmill beside my dainty stream I wouldn't be eroded for a balance would be there my soil would be loaded and a terrace we could share Even though I'd reside with plateaus settled in the mass people would live in chateaux and play in my lofty grass The certainty that I am piny wouldn't matter in my plain for even though I'm tiny the mountains discern my name

If you were a foothill, I would come to Tennessee to see you and we would have some real fun!

Guess what, Angie? I did the same thing as Silent One; saw and read 'football,' instead of 'foothill.'... Well, I'm certainly glad it was and is 'foothill,' because you really did that foothill proud. Love the tone, tenor, and personality of your poem. Mountains and Majesty, Gershon

Thanks Gershon. When I looked at it again, I can see where you and Silent One would see that :) Thanks for reading.
