2- PENNSYLVANIA: NEVER AGAIN!

 

My natal earth hides

Rectangle unforgettable

A delighted natural tapestry

Covered of rich forests

In my kind Pennsylvania

Grow the white oaks, 
Cherry woods…chestnut trees…

Always exchanging embraces 

Maple trees…pines…firs…

Leaves blacks…reds… evergreens…

New Jersey, Delaware 

New York, Maryland 

Ohio, West Virginia, 

Bordered  sublime sap

The Eire…The Appalachians… 
Susquehanna…

The Blue Mountain…

Lakes, rivers, mountains,

The naughty ranges,

*Carbon… iron…oil…natural gas…

Give since ever your fertile Gea

Celebrities are people

The name of their cities

Washington…Franklin…Philadelphia

Jefferson…Montgomery…Monroe…

What beautiful is my Pennsylvania!

Admired…dreamed… loved…

Impossible to forget

I have only a little pain

Difficult… concealing

Let’s put the blame on Poe!

Back the Three Mile…

Island of the river Susquehanna…

Near of Harrisburg…

Pertaining to Pennsylvania…

Howls a strange spectrum

That rests never…never.
