Verlena S. Walker Poet Verse

The Hills of Mississippi

Not as tall or rocky as a mountain are the Mississippi hills.
      We visit Crystal Springs often during various times of the year.
We love the natural raised area of land and the easiness it was to trek the fields.
      The Hills of Mississippi is where my ancestors' spirit(s) lives.
We are descendants of the Trail of Tears and Mississippi enslavement.
      The highest point to view, as we summit to enjoy its nativity, is the constant 
changing of landscape.
      The hills of Mississippi are an attraction for hikers’ and nature walkers' fun and delight.
