Wild and Wonderful West Virginia

I stand on the edge of a spectacular canyon A river in the distance far, far below With mountains rising above each side Reflecting in the rushing tide, as though One might miss the verdant foliage crests. New River Gorge they call this place A flora and fauna national preserve Nature's playground at its absolute finest. Far below in the foamy surging rapids Are braver people, reader, than I am Piloting canoes and paddling furiously Taking their river ride quite, quite seriously. One visit to New River is sure to win ‘ya To wild and wonderful West Virginia.

oh what a cute final couplet: to win ya! I think I was there once and I know the east coast is so beautiful. John Denver loved this state too!!
