For today’s prompt, pick a state (or province, territory, etc.), make it the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. A few possibilities include New York, California, Ontario, Bavaria, and Champagne. It goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway: Feel free to bend this in any direction you wish.
Colorado
Across the board room conference table
there were plate glass windows
and the Rocky Mountains.
My hosts made sure I sat
on the east so my view
was distracting.
Worse, the day was clear and the air thin
so I could see each flake in the snow caps
and each boulder on the slopes.
I grew up in Ohio
and while we share
the big open vowel,
my hometown flatlands
did not prepare me
for this majesty.
Bartholomew Barker, Poet 
I miss Colorado! Not the snow however. Such a beautiful state.

Agreed. I’ve only visited twice for a total of less than ten days but it’s a very strong memory,

They confessed the seating arrangements were intentional. Fortunately, I didn’t have sign the checks.
