Best Minnesota Poems

digesting ballet —
prime rib and bacon, waltzing
Nutcracker taters
Tchaikovsky suite crescendo
fork and knife tenderizing

When Thor’s mighty hammer sounds a thunderous call,
this football team is willing to do it all.
They are ready to plunder and pillage opposing teams.
The Vikings are reality, not merely dreams.

They have played well before the overwhelming cheers.
Success has come easily throughout their playing years.
When the...

The Senators felt it was time to leave DC.
They sought a new home in another part of the country.
No team had ever had such bad luck as this.
Their fans did not consider last-place finishes bliss.
These boys decided to move to St. Paul and Minneapolis.

Minnesota welcomed...

OH LAND OF TEN THOUSAND LAKES,

OF GREEN TREES OF NATURE,

AND SKY TINTED WATERS.

FIND YOUR SILENCE,

AND LISTEN TO THE LOONS,

OR HEAR THE WOLVES IN THE WOODS.

OH I LOVE YE, OUR LAND OF TEN THOUSAND LAKES,

MY NATIVE STATE,

MY HOME ALWAYS,

IN NATURE AND HEART.

THANK YOU MINNESOTA,

OUR LAND OF...

The great upper mid west
Minnesota put to the test
Ten thousand lakes and streams
Reality for many who like to dream


From Itasca state park
To the Louisiaina's wooden bark
The mighty Mississippi flows
Gently down the outcrop she goes


Crime rates are always's on the rise
But really does it come as...

The Minnesota sky

He's lying on the ground...
no mercy to be found...
He begs and pleads and says
that he can't breathe

The world keeps looking on...
human dignity is gone...
I pray to God to help
next time it could be me


Chorus
So I'm choking on a truth
that's seldom heard...
Justice falls down...

Lightning throbs

Sending rain pelting
Through me

Joyously soaking my soul

Home now-
Clothes hanging on iron glyphs;
Soon to adorn my garden

The sun peaks out-
Bright red pinecones are forming
 Like little green
Tipped clubs on the Norway Pine
Outside my window;
My heart entwined with the
Budding pinecones

Absorbing hope...

Still a bit cool out tonight. I drove to my boomfield anticipatin' gentle winds
 and sweet returns. All my booms impress and amaze me, 'cept for a
couple of 'em, which I know always takes me a few tosses to figure 'em out.

Oh! wind those windows down!
Gitchigumi, race your breath through my soul!

fill me with the strength your sons
Hubert and Walter gave us!

Oh Highway 61...bring me to your cliff tops,
let me feel the passion for justice
your brothers, Humphrey and Mondale gave us!

Pray I help just one unfortunate...

Picture several feet of snow, Pa!
Don’t be clumsy with your packing, Sir!
Of fluffy white fields, you’ll be in awe.
Afield Southern climate, you’ll feel the brr.

Pack your woolen coat and boots, Dad!
Don’t forget warm socks, silk underwear, Pop!
From far away it don’t seem so bad
But the...

I see you over there,
nervously playing with your hair
blushing at the ground
and trying not to stare,
so I'm pretending not to care.
(Tonight is bright and full of lights.)
I still don't care,
I'm trying to win you over
I'm playing the part,
I'm playing fair,
but you're gorgeous and distracting
...I'm not...
