A Night in Northern Minnesota

The earth now covered
Under a blanket of white
Will sleep till spring

But the heaven’s bloom
With Minnesota’s dusk
In fabulous light

Varicolored sky
Aurora Borealis dance
With spirits enchanted

The moon reflected
Upon the new fallen snow
Beauty was the sight

How I love this place
That’s called the North Star State
Where the night is joy
Where night is ablaze

The above poem was written in Haiku verse.
