The Hills Are Alive With The Sound Of Music.

I would love

to live in Austria

and see

the

snow peak mountains tops

the green carpets

of the valleys

spreading

far and wide

the lush deciduous forest

with its strong

mighty oak trees

the light green

of the elegant beech.

Sway in

the breeze.

The white and yellow

flowers

of the Edelweiss

that signature of Austria

let alone

the rich blue

pretty flowers

of the gentian

growing between

the valley floor

alpine roses and carnations

pink and purple and white

let alone the heather

long strands swaying to

the tune of the land

come hither towards

me it's saying in

the wind...

the wooden chalets

and homes

the rivers

and lakes

maybe even going

skiing

eating some

apple strudel

the list is endless

amazing food

and drinks behold

all who enter

this glorious

kingdom on earth.

My mother-in-law God bless her soul would have loved this poem Dee. That was her favourite film. She watched it so many times and never failed to get enjoyment out of it. I can see her now with a smile on her face, sitting in her favourite chair and taking it all in. Thank you for that lovely memory. It was always a bit of a standing joke in the family at the time.

May I ask what the inspiration for this poem was (other than the sound of music, but what specifically)? And I absolutely love this piece, it's very vivid and charming!

I was just thinking of someplaces on earth that makes me smile. And Austria did that for me. Never been just saw on television and the movie of course and pictures in general. All those inspired me.
