Sammy, Tim, Jerry and Bela; another year, another “hell ya!”
Come to these Yonder Mountains my dear, we’ve waited our whole lives to be exactly HERE.

Auntie Hope :festivarian2 :green
Oh, how I love a good rhyme. Can’t wait for Telluride this year!
Like magic from Gabe’s fiddle bow / “I heart U” says the lingering snow
(my heart wingding didn’t copy, so I substituted the word heart).
Watermelon shared in a chilly mountain stream / With Telluride and bluegrass we’re livin’ the dream
The porta-john’s the place to meet / Ten thousand festavarians with chaco-tanned feet
CD chains glimmer in the sun / Telluride’s the place where mountains and music become one
Yo-Yo’s got nothing on Ben Sollee / Ben’s where it’s at if you ask me (i really do love Yo-Yo, too.)
A birdseye view of multicolored tents / TBF is the best and that’s my two cents.
Bluegrasstunes make my feet groove / What happens here is more beautiful than anything at the Louvre
LOL – I thought this was your first couplet, which I thought was honestly very funny.
Oh well.
This is the mindset I am in.
What to do on this short set break? / A 'tweener goes well with killer flank steak!
Bela, Edgar, Jerry & Sammy Too / Abby, Allison, Sarah & Emmylou!
Ingram Falls East and Valley Floor West / All Four Days, Enjoy the Fest!
From the Shellman Stage, NightGrass & Elk’s Park / The 38th Telluride BlueGrass is making it’s mark!
“Going Green” is Easy in Your Heart / But Only Really Happens When We All Take Part!

jugglers, crafts and clowns - family tent volunteer
watching budding festivarians grow with each passing year
summer solstice celebration
annual sojourn to festivation
music and magic in the air above
friends gather on the tarp to share more love
Camp Cascadia went big last year
did you know that dome is 5/8ths of a sphere?
troubadours, toe jobs and home brew
another year with the tiki bar crew
Fell in love again on our tarp / henna tattoo lasts for days, forever in my heart
Set up camp, ground was damp
Fun was spent in pickin' tent! :pickinWith sweet musical notes abound in the air / to keep my feet still i just cant bear!
-Diehl Dalton
With each twang of the banjo and strum of mandolin / i cant stop my soul from wanting to jump right in.
-Diehl Dalton
red cliffs echo music from the shelman stage. this is how heaven we are to guage
Here we come, year after year
There is no other place in our hearts
so dear.
Wow. Such beautiful words from everyone. :medal

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your rhymes and reflections. Feel free to keep 'em coming. We’ll highlight this thread in an upcoming “Notes from the Planet” so everyone has a chance to enjoy all of these.
We’re in the process of choosing 20 or so for the program. In order to spread the love around, we’ll choose just 1 per person - even if you submitted numerous great ones.
Our apologies if we weren’t able to include yours in the program. It’s probably not because we didn’t thoroughly enjoy your poem; more likely it’s just that we needed a different subject to pair with the specific page in the program. And regrettably, our space is limited.
Thank you thank you, everyone. :cheers
the bluegrass i hear with you is more than music
this festival we share together will last forever
