Notes About The Poem

A view of North Carolina life after the first snow fall of the year.

Carolina Blue and White

Carolina Blue and White
By Franklin Price
1/7/2016

Carolina blue and white,
It's such a sight to see,
Fresh fallen snow and cloudless sky,
God sent for you and me,

Tall snow covered evergreens
Above the tinned roofed house,
Where two retired seniors live,
This poet and his spouse.

Born and raised in Florida,
Not too much to seasons there.
Retired To North Carolina,
For a little mountain air.

Our house is in the foothills
Not far from Chimney Rock.
Left the hustle and the bustle,
And the cruise ships at the dock.

Acclimated to a slower life,
And the people of hills,
Who believe in God and country;
Take care of family and their bills

That's just the way we like it
'Cause that is where we're at
Don't have a huntin' dog just yet
To chase the neighbor's cat

As I turn now from my keyboard
And look out the window pane
The blue and white of Carolina
Says that's all for this refrain
