vermont life
pine scented,
ancient county fairs, blue ribbons doled,
sunny days spent at swimming holes,
covered bridges.
Rainbow showers
bonfire towers.

Whitewash steeples
welcoming people,
green mountains echo with church bells.
Sunday morning sermons in the chapel.
Around woodstoves,
drying leather
talking weather.


Country stores
wooden floors,
winter full moons, sparkling snow drifts,
spring sun, finally shines, spirits lift.
Green mountains,
Vermont magic
I'm nostalgic.
