Our mountain regions are unique and beautiful places. We must preserve them for future generations. One of the most serious thre

ats to our mountains is ridgetop development. Large housing developments built on steep slopes and along mountain ridges are unsightly. Also, they adversely affect the scenic views that draw tourists to our region each year. Who wants to drive to the mountains to see not the lovely tree-covered outline of the gently sloping mountain ridges against the sky, but rows of houses jutting from the ridges and slopes with little or no tree cover between them? With tourism as the biggest industry in our area, maintaining our scenic ridgelines is crucial to continued economic success here.
Ridgetop development not only detracts from scenic mountain views and threatens our area’s top industry, it also harms the environment. Stripping large areas to create multiple building sites removes the trees and other plants. These resources provide natural erosion barriers on steep slopes. Large housing developments on ridges often increase erosion and runoff into streams and rivers.

Answer:

It sounded like piano music and it was coming from my living room, however, we didn't have a piano. I slowly got up to see what it was, then I saw a sight I never expected to see, not even in my wildest dreams: my dad was dancing in a very slow romantic dance with my mum and making out.

They were dancing to one of his old music collections, that was why I probably didn't recognize the sounds.

He had one hand on her waist and it slid further down, mum let off a gasp, they were obviously enjoying themselves, oblivious to the fact that I was just upstairs.

I turned around and went back to my room and with a smile shut my door.

solmaris [256]
A free verse poem just means it doesn't follow any particular structure of rhyme, parallelism ect. It could be either or in terms of it being a few sentences or a paragraph it depends on what was asked of you. Some poems are extremely short so it could look like a quote but to be safe id go for longer.
