Niagara Falls - Sg

Mists rise above rocks below
Maid of the Mist drifts
Up to Niagara Falls
Hordes of mystic lifts.
Rainbows in the sun
Newly married couples flock
Windows for great fun.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 6/17/2021 2:56:00 AM Ah, so beautiful Hank. Wow! Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 6/17/2021 8:44:00 AM Thanks. I love Niagara Fall. Deb and I had a large jacuzzi tub in our room, and instead of mellowing out in it, she washed clothes in it. That was my Deb!

Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 6/15/2021 12:39:00 PM Your stunning poem brought back memories of my many visits to Niagara( BTW Niagara in the native language means " Smocking Waters" I think you understand why.) When I was a student, I spent a night in my old van, in the parking. A glorious experience. Thank you! Excellently done, my friend, L MILTON!

Vijay Pandit Date: 6/15/2021 12:28:00 PM We had a magical time being there many years ago now. Your poem brings the scenes alive--especially Maid of the Mist. Superbly done, Milton, in this hard to execute form. Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 6/15/2021 12:34:00 PM Thank you so much, Vijay. I struggled with it, and I'm still not sure it is exactly right, but it's the best I could do. Thank you for your encouraging comment. So glad you enjoyed Niagara Falls. I have been there twice. It's a place everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime.
