I stand in the 2016 Jeep Wrangler
and feel the wind smack my face.
I look to the right to see
thousands of bright, scentless sunflowers.
I look to the left to see
a pasture of innocent, young cows.
The sun glows and
the sky is a light shade of blue.
This is Wisconsin.


I arrive to the most
peaceful and stress relieving place.
Birds sing and so do I.
I walk along the beach of Devil’s Lake
with campfire smoke satisfying my nose.
I start my strenuous trek
through the one foot wide and straight up path.
All sweat and smiles.
This is Wisconsin.


Immediately, I gain relief
as I take my last step of incline.
I look to the right to see
insects roaming and frantic squirrels running.
I look to the left to see
an everlasting view of Devil’s Lake.
Carved cliffs and clear waters
surround me.
This is Wisconsin.
