An Innocent Childhood Memory

In photographs and dreams,
memories of the Great Smoky Mountains, I see
Chilly streams

Clay pot crafting
Childhood days with my family
Rafting

Hot sun
in Cherokee
Fun!

In photographs and dreams.
childhood days with my family
fun!



*Cherokee is a town in the Smoky Mountain Range

Very nice picture you’ve crafted here. The smoky mountains is one of the few places I haven’t been to

You have to put that on your 'things to do' list, Mark. Stay away from the tourist trap parts and enjoy the serenity of those little streams and the lush greenery. I think you'd appreciate it. Stay in an off the beaten path cabin. Thanks for the nice comment.

This is a wonderful memory, so pleasurably and succinctly expressed, Jenna. I believe that this is right up Mohan's alley too! G.L. in the contest! Cheers, Gershon

Thank you, Gershon. It was first time viewing mountains...so memorable. I'm not acquainted with Mohan, so we'll see.
