Diane's Poems

Smoky Mountain Beauty devine

Is this Home of Mine

I grew up around the Hills of Tennessee

this is a picture at best of the Beauty at rest

The Beauty Devine in the memory of time

is of  the Mountains so beautiful and waters so clean

making twist and turns as the water swerves

 down the stream....

I have been all over the Mountain side

from the Valley to the top of the dome

and down the side to Cherokee...

which my family has a past that was ours you see....

I loved to roam around the Mountains

They were so Devine and on the way to the top

there is a Flat Land called Caves Cove.....

You can see the Devine History of the Mills and cabins

along the way

just as it stands today..

I am so happy it is there to stay

As you ride threw the cove

You can see the Devine Beauty of Tennessee down  the

Mountain again Is our Lovely Cherokee, North Carolina...

Our children will be able to go and look at  the top

of the Mountain for years to come...

In my ears still are the beatings of the drums....

It can take your breath away the Beauty Devine

as it did in years of yesterday......

I am so grateful I can tell you the Devine Beauty

of the Smoky Mountains, It was there from yesterdays...

and there to stay!
