POETRY CORNER: ST. LOUIS

The airplanes go overhead,

not far from the ground,

in Northwestern St. Louis,

not all so far from the arch.

Ladue, Creve Coeur ...

inspirational, breathtaking.

Bridgeton, my favorite hang out ...

home of the middle class.

St. Louis ... city I love ...

with its free zoo, science

center, and art museum.

From the newly-built Mormon temple

in the West to O'Fallon, Ill., in the

East.

St. Louis,

it's truly a feast!
