Front Range Burnout
a weekend hiking
is the only proper way
to enjoy summer
Road Trip 2019: Day Seventeen, Red Sunrise
red sun, glassy lake
paddling with the puppy:
perfect lakehouse day
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: Duluth, Day Seven
cycling is life
as we tour Duluth’s sights
from bridges to ships
Road Trip 2019: Day Six, Gitchi Gami
you haven’t ridden
over the Rockies; not yet.
Superior wins.
with a pup and girls
(unread itinerary)
we biked thirty clicks
Minnesota wins
for elevation record
on these little legs
and to end it all:
waterfall, campfire, cheese.
who would ask for s’more?
Road Trip 2019: North Dakota, Day Four
a frontier village
with world-record bison
thank you, Dakota
a cider dog fest
on a random Fargo night?
(mead is delicious)
the northern midwest
is a reality show
of kindness at play
Road Trip 2019: North Dakota
i never listen
when someone says it’s boring
i always find fun
North Dakota wins
kindness, camping, paddling
and late-night sunsets
Earth lodge history
and indigenous genius
round out this cycle
with Art Deco touch
to capitalize the north
and give us this view
all in a day’s work:
this “boring” state makes dreams bright
campfires and all
Road Trip 2019: Dakotas, Day Two
from flat Dakota
emerges a river trail
hard on legs and kids
but water wins views
however it meanders
giving life to all
Stand Up. Paddle.
my oldest happy?
so hard for me to earn now.
worth every penny.
