Rocky Mountain High

There's nothing like the smell of fresh air
So come join me on this expedition there

High above the canyon ridges
Of Colorado's mountain's and bridges

Pikes Peak Cheyenne to name a few
But let me tell you oh what the view

For there are fresh water streams
Cascading down the slopes of green

Then there are countless winding and twisting roads
Slowing down the engines cargo load

Top of Cheyenne's peak
You can almost hear God speak

Voices in the wind
Not to hear it would be such a sin

And if your lucky enough even capture an eagle in flight
Encirciling Pikes Peak now wouldn't that be a sight

So for your next viva vacation
Remember the mountains of Colorado who also holds great sensations

Selected again? Wow! This is nostalgic. I used to play waltz night at the Broadmoor Hotel and all the shows at the International Center. Taught violin at Colorado College and orchestra at Palmer High Schoo. Would love to reminisce with you. [email protected]

Good use of rhyme to share this experience. Living in North Dakota, vacations in some of the mountain areas in the country have awed me which you captured in this poem. Good luck in the contest. Keep that pen flowing my friend. Thank you for your kind comment. Karen
