WORLDWIDE520 (a.k.a. Chris) is one of the most prolific WikiGuides you’ll find! Chris reached Noble WikiGuide status on August 4, 2009, little more than a month after joining Community Outreach.

In his spare time, he also likes to write short stories and poems (one day he’d like to publish a book of them) or play video games. Chris is also an avid volunteer and enjoys helping out at his local food bank. He views WikiAnswers as one way to make a positive change in the world.

Without further ado, Chris is stepping up at the Poetry Cafe with his poem “The Mountain Scene.”

The Mountain Scene

There is a calming effect about a placid lake-
The crystal blue glass, barely making a wave,
The only sounds are movements we make.
The wind softly whispers through the trees,
Nature’s beauty is all we see.
The sun makes crests sparkle like gems;
The mountains around glow a soft red.
And next to me a pine stands dead, those of its kin planted around,
Tall they stand, tall and proud- oh, so beautifully holding their ground,
Through driving wind and biting cold,
I see before me Nature’s beauty unfold.
