Pennsylvania To see Penn’s Woods again in Fall, my youthful days in fond recall. With trees ablaze in red fireball, my eyes are pleased in view of all. Red, gold and Evergreen enthrall. As roads unwind, beauty befalls. The "Quaker State" has keystone walls, spread over hills like gray prayer shawls. I pass by mountains oh so tall, as vales below seem to be small. Green fields before my eyes do sprawl, when lush Penn Woods abounds in Fall. 10/27/16
