Carolina

Churches sit upon red hills And blue birdsong such a thrill Romantic eyes looks that kill Onyx night sky blue and still Lovely southern accent that rings In ears like song of sweetest dreams Neighborhood nosey busy body And dogwood flowers by the creek

Loved the warmth of this Karen! Inspired me to write my own Acrostic poem about where I live, Bolton :)

This is a scenic poem. You don't need to go south to find a busy body. I enjoyed reading.
