My MINNESOTA
HOME
SWEET
HOMELAND


For here in this
WONDERMENT
and
BEAUTIFUL
Land of the --------TEN-THOUSAND-LAKES
it is just so--Amazingly
MAJESTIC, but oh yes
MOSQUiTO, Biting
Infested
but
so--Unique

M-E-S-M-E-R-I-Z-I-N-G

and
Good-Great-and
GRAND


Yesterday was my return and First DAY


And I Remember, how the Weather, so
Crazy and

EXTREME

can change in a 

HEART--BEAT

each Hour to Hour of
Every Day, in every Way
RAIN--or--SHINE
or
every
HOT-and-COLD
M--I--N--N--E--S--O--T--A
WAY


As the Day, Started Off, very Breezy, Cool, Rainy
and RAINING, the SAME, old 
UNPREDICTABLE

M---I---N---N---E---S---O---T--A

same old--
SAME


Then at MID--MORNING
it became
HOT-hot-HOT
Quick and Fast
and, so
MUGGY, and HUMID
with Sunlight
just--Perfectly
JUNE-Happy--and--BRIGHT
as folks were
Smiling ear to ear
as they are use to the
UP, and DOWN
SMILE--or--FROWN
RAINING--or--SHINING
with, no
Minnesota---Complaining
Weather
GAME


The Beautiful-Plush-UNTOUCHED
Woodlands


Is just a Beautiful
Magical
Mystical
Land of
LAKES
Vast and GREAT
UNTOUCHED-PRISTINE--and--CLEAN
Minnesota--Wilderness
so
GODBLESSEDLY
GRAND


That is the
SAME--OLD--SAME--OLD
UNTOUCHED
WONDERMENT
of 
my
M--I--N--N--E--S--O--T--A
BOYHOOD


That still is--TIMELESS
and--Unchanging
even after almost
Forty-Four-YEARS
but still the same old same old
Minnesota Mosquitoes
biting me now
has long
STOOD
