The Majestic White Mountains

Majestic White Mountains surround me, I travel the curvy road They call this road the ‘Kanc’ for short, where panoramic views are sowed Green valley’s lay beneath me, with rivers in the ravines quite deep The slate gray rocky cliffs I pass by, look like murals, slopes are steep A patchwork of color blankets the far reaching, lush, mountainside Where white puffy clouds circulate around the top, floating to hide Amidst the pines, the clean air I breathe is cool, refreshing and clear I pass by turn out spots for viewing and hiking trails everywhere In the fall you will find the old man who sells apples at his stand Where you can try different kinds or buy some cider he has on hand In the winter, the snow paints the mountains and trees a shining white Where fallen flakes and ice crystalize everything there is in sight The State Forest is nearby where people visit, the wildlife roam I view all this with gratitude, to live where mountains are my home Heidi Sands 8/9/17 *Placed 4th in the contest: Mountains
