Wayne County.<BR/><BR/>BeadinggalinMS, what really inspired this poem was my first experience in a remote forest during a snow shower. I never knew how loud snow could be when there are no other sounds. This particular forest is not as quiet, sadly, because noise from a highway about 1-2 miles away bounces between the mountains.<BR/><BR/>Kelly, thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-1136786034585494012006-01-09T00:53:00.000-05:002006-01-09T00:53:00.000-05:00Oh, I love this one!!Oh, I love this one!!Kelly (Lynn) Parrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04827605655761900263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-1136782904289540032006-01-09T00:01:00.000-05:002006-01-09T00:01:00.000-05:00Jason beautiful poem with a beautiful picture.
