Blue Ridge Beauty

Haikus about the Blue Ridge Mountains and spring.

Blue Ridge Mountain spring--
spring unfolds upon the Earth.
Green offsets the sky.

Appalachian height,
lush forest sugar maple.
Burgeoning verdant.

Springtime horizon,
Virginia vaulting skyward--
vernal contentment.

Red oak and thistle;
winding paths with crape myrtle.
Vibrant spring in bloom.

Roaming doe and stag--
blue mountains stay a refuge.
Beauty and vantage.
