The Mountains of Colorado
A PLACE CALLED BEAUTIFUL CONTEST
Sponsor: Janis Thompson
Mountains of Colorado
On a mount up above towards the peak of the pike,
Sets the sun in the west way far up in the clear sky,
The blue and pink mixed within each other alike,
Snow-capped and white-laced wrapped lifted up high.
As the mighty bald eagle soars beautifully overhead,
His white head full of majesty with robust feathers,
Brilliant orange talons watching as his prey all fled,
I look all around me and see multi-colored Heather’s,
Pikes Peak rises over fourteen thousand feet high,
A rocky heap looking like it’s touching sweet heaven,
As I watch in wonder a tender tear falls from my eye,
The remarkable sights could become an obsession.
Far in the distance lives the Garden of the God’s,
Rusty-amber colored mountains full of wonder,
The stature of these monuments may seem quite odd,
Because tourists can walk through them and under.
A famous attraction is known as the “Kissing Camels”,
Two peaks of the mounts connected smooching in love,
Last year on our vacation I told my grandson Daniel,
It must be a love affair gifted from God up above.
The most unique mountains seen in North America,
And has captured tourists to see Mother Nature so great,
I’ve educated my daughter from the Encyclopedia Britannica,
Wow, Colorado sure holds beauty within its dignified state!
