for a family pic, hike
a little shopping

Road Trip 2019: Day Thirteen, Minneapolis–The North Woods
a tornado scare
led to this downtown hassle
with a sparkling Vista
delayed flight gave time
for a capitol your
offering domed wealth
my man has arrived
for our drive to the North Woods
where water saves all
Road Trip 2019: Day Twelve, CycleLife
miles of mansions,
waterfront owned by city,
planning perfection
cycling throughout
with restaurants in most parks?
happiness, designed
lakes and waterfalls
even a creek for a dip
could you ask for more?
Road Trip 2019: Day Eleven, Mill City
lakes are not enough
to keep this city spinning
(wheat connects us all)
the bread of our lives
lives in these shared memories
that we’ll feast upon
from book shops to dusk
in a city new to us
we’ll catch this twilight
Road Trip 2019: Day Ten, One of Ten Thousand
the oldest arrives
to take over paddling
just one of these lakes
