Well done mystery poet.
You have captured every essence of your topic including sights, sounds smells and tasted.
Love your Appalachian word usage which really brings the reader into your world whether they understand the words or not.
I was thinking about entering this contest. Not so sure now! LOL
I smell a winner here
Good luck

A wonderful poem describing in detail the natural beauty of the Appalachian Mountains. It is very well written; we are magically transported to the mountains via your words. The picture is nice and the author's note is informative. Best of luck in the contest. Evi

This is a terrific free verse. My favorite line is " boiling like a pot of grits." I was raised on grits so the humor was not lost on me, a colorful analogy for sure. This verse is wildly descriptive and passionately written. It is clear your love of nature. I read it many times and the images became more vivid. Well done!

Love these lines so in tone with the weather in Edmonton:"Breathing cacophony, thunder resounds
around the hills and sweeps down the holler." Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

You painted a colourful picture here of nature and despite the weather, there is joy as spring brings life to the earth and this unique land has a special place in your heart. I loved your rich descriptions, the corn, the forest floor covered in colour, the chestnut oaks and dew, a magical write, love Dolly x
