The Yosemite Area

by sunnilicious


I know about this place called Yosemite,
an area of forests and meadows,
stuck in a beautiful infinity;
The national park with twisted shadows.

Its history dates back ten thousand years,
human habitation is much younger,
starting with Native American cheers
and progressing to tourists in high numbers.

A land graced mountainous with flowing streams,
rock formations, ancient sequoias, pines,
camps, wildlife and things for simple dreamers;
Where people reflect and cherish star shines.

Forest Rangers protect God's Promise Land,
And it isn't a hard place to understand.





Day 2 - National Poetry Writing Month optional prompt - Write a Place Poem.

God's Promise Land is common, because of a bible story about Abraham. It's not just a place in Israel. God's Promise Land can be used for any place in a natural state. Debate me or edit me on this... I don't mind.

I always loved Yosemite. It dates back to watching Yogi Bear and Smokey the Bear public service announcements. I know plenty people that visit there. I don't know anybody that lives there. But I have a friend with a brother that works there. And I remember some tv news stories about criminal escapes into Yosemite. As crazy as it could be, it's a still a tiny stastic of the whole. And so, I dream to visit Yosemite National Park, someday.
