Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

In Minneapolis

Here in Minneapolis,
In weather bright and cool,
We crossed the Mississippi 
Then we headed to the school.

Two students helped to guide us
To the campus place for art,
A museum by Frank Gehry,
Not a shabby place to start.

We checked out the ceramics,
Sculptures, paintings and the shop
Then in need of rest and sustenance,
We thought we'd take a stop.

And that's when we found Annie's,
Where a coffee malt and fries
(Both delicious!) perked us up -
A Minneapolis surprise.

See, my favorite part of travel
Is to find a local thing -
Be it food or craft or scenery -
Such pleasure does it bring!

And though sometimes it's familiar,
Like the fries and malt today,
If I'd been at home, I would not do
What's done when I'm away.

I'm enjoying all your comments this morning - thank you! My husband and I (both urban people) like to visit cities we've never been to before and just spend a few days checking them out. It's always fun to be in a new place...
