Hello RSPoet, I love that you are writing about our NJ Pinelands. It is a sight to behold. Every once in a while, I write about them too. Your poem reads and flows well and is filled with vivid imagery. Of special note:
The flowers are stunning across this pineland--
A yellow Pine Heather that blooms in the sand,
The red-petaled Goat's Rue and Cinnamon Fern,
These hues of a rainbow each season return.
(Beautiful writing. I can feel your love and pride for this region.)
Your poem is not only an ode to the Pinelands, but the beauty to be found within NJ. Well done. Xo Margaret
p.s. How did you manage to incorporate the two bottom photos into your poem. I recently wanted to do that but didn't think that we could do that.

Hello Margaret. Thank you for the excellent review and rating for my poem, Apple Pie Hill. I?m glad you enjoyed the sensory imagery and the description of the pinelands. I've been hiking/exploring the, ironically named, barrens for many decades. It has a marvelous history.
I appreciated the encouraging comments and stars very much.
Best wishes.

PS I use Microsoft, saving pictures (save image as) to my picture file. To put them into a poem I right click copy, then go to the poem on fanstory and put the cursor in the desired location. Press and hold control (Ctrl), then press V. Don't hold them to long or you'll get multiple images. The picture must not be too large or it will overwhelm the space. Once in, you can drag the right corner to the size you want and also move to the location. When done, be sure to save on fanstory.
If it doesn't appear, save again. Hope this helps.

Comment from lyenochka
What an ecological treat to read your poem and learn about so many examples of flora and fauna in the Pinelands National Reserve. I'm glad that they have protected this area. The bald eagles have definitely made a successful comeback. We see them all the time out here.
As always, your poem is skillfully crafted and I like how you put the manmade mill in the backdrop and nature in the foreground. Best wishes in the contest!

What a beautiful description of such a beautiful place. Your rhyme and rhythm really worked well with painting this picture for your readers. It would be amazing to see it in person. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Comment from DeboraDyess
Wow! Now I have a new place to visit on my bucket list. I never thought it would be New Jersey! (No offense; I know very little about the state.)
I love the poem, love the author's notes, love the pic... The whole things is a perfect post. No suggestions, of course. It's great!
Blessings,
Deb

Comment from June Sargent
I thoroughly enjoyed my trek through the barrens. Our grandson Cash would love exploring these pine lands. Just to see the tree frog. He loves amphibians. The poem flowed like a river and painted a beautiful scenario with your well chosen words. Great entry for the contest.

Hello June. Thank you for the marvelous review and rating for my poem, Apple Pie Hill. I?m glad you enjoyed the sensory imagery and the metrical flow "like a river."
The treefrogs actually live in the trees, and rarely come down, so Cash would have a difficult time seeing one. We live on the edge of the preserve and hear them at night.
I appreciated the encouraging comments and six stars very much.
Best wishes.

Comment from Mark Jackson
That is very good it is just the sort of thing that could be used to promote this National Reserve. I have not heard its name before, I have heard of the New Jersey Devil though. Apple Pie Hill is quite a strange name but it caught my interest.

I enjoyed reading about the Pinelands National Reserve in your Author Notes. It sounded like a marvellous place. Then I turned to your poem that brought the whole scene to life for me in a most magical way. Another marvellous poem.
