Sunrise in Ely

 

Ely

An Eden in the heart of Minnesota

A serenity of forest and water

A beckon of visitors far and wide

To canoe on its fresh water tide

 

Ely

Beneath its canopy lies peace

A place to cuddle and kiss

Enjoying the golden sunset

Sinking beyond the silhouette

    I have lived in Minnesota

    I have lived in Minnesota most of my life and have never been to Ely. Your poem transported me there. I will make it a point to visit Ely myself this year to see if I can capture just a little of the magic of your poem.
