On the moon
There are smoky mountains too
Though not as picturesque
I am sure
As our Blue Ridge range
Travelling the horizon for miles
Pink, violet and indigo
I am sure
The moon alone
Coverts its barren grey
Undulating landscape
I am sure
You and I appreciate
Our flora and fauna covered terra firma
To dwell upon nature's panorama
I am sure
We would never
Want our smoky mountains
Be barren like that range
On the moon

Beautiful photo and your poem makes it even more vivid. No we wouldn't want to trade a moonscape for our beautiful mountains.
