I liked reading this rhymed poem about a picturesque cabin that helps show what the early Tennessee settlers had to work to produce. Favorite lines:
Neighbors befriended, soon became blended
into a community.
The churches they'd build, would quickly be filled
with spirits of harmony.
Congratulations on the second place win!

    Thank you, Crystie, I was fun to write about a place I enjoy going. I've been there many times and sometime just to drive through. If you like taking pictures there are beautiful landscapes and wild animal to photograph.

I spent many years living near the foothills of a small mountain in Idsho. We often rode horseback up into the hills.One of our favorite destinations was to ride to " Mikes Cabin "... a long time abandoned cabin once inhabited by s msn everyone referred to as Mike. I never did hear anyone actually proclaim they knew him or he was a family member. You really didn't go into the cabin because it was too daisnd unstable but we spent msny evenings enjoying the beautiful views and the campfire hot dogs on a stick. Thanks for reminding me of these great memories.

This is a great title and who could resist reading about that color- filled cove full of autumnal beauty 'a rare historical sight' adds interest to the topic

I love this.
It has such a great rhythm and meter to it, it flows off the tongue and into the mind like a song
Beautiful imagery, it reminds me of a great song by Dire Straits, Look up the lyrics to 'Telegraph Road' or better yet, if you don't know the song, give it a listen.

There's a bit of old fashioned charm to this piece that makes it not just a joy to read but endearing. It had me driving through that village with you. Great work
