Short Hideaways Poems

Indianapolis welcomes you.
Navigate, find your place, sailing through
synthetic waterway just for fun.
Off’ring journeys with anecdotes,
carriages, kayaks and pedal boats
worthwhile way to enjoy snow or sun.

We'll park your vehicle, while you fete
with friends, fam'ly, or special date.
Hire out a gondolier; he can hunt 
for local sites, you don't want to miss -
hideaways where you can reminisce,
use Indy’s canal at Riverfront.

Secure in their hideaways
Hoping its end is nigh...
