West Virginia Sonnet

They call my home the mountain state
Though, also has many large hills.
Crazy curves that swerve sway, around.
Slipping sides of the roads do show.
.
These may be negatives to some.
However, deliver such sights
The glorious colors that flaunt,
During all the seasons that live.

Mountains stand tall over the hills.
Foliage of every hue,
Wooded centers flow all over.
Nature abounds gloriously.

West Virginia hills majestic.
Almost Heaven, they say, so free.

Wonderful description of your beautiful home state, Cecil. Every time the West Virginia university team wins a football game, they play John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads." Both your words and his do make it seem like it's "Almost Heaven." Enjoyed! Love, Carolyn
