Your words are lovely, and painted a very vivid picture even before I looked at the picture itself. I appreciate that your poem appeals to several senses, making it as easy to hear and smell what you desribe as see it.

Just a few minor technical points:
- You don't need apostrophes in "blast's" or "it's."
- "Summer time" should be one word. As you have it, grammatically, you're referencing a show about time that takes place in the summer.

Otherwise, nice job, and good luck in the contest.

What a beautiful poem about Duluth and Lake Superior. It is beautiful country of flowers, water, sea gulls and freighters. And a bridge that connects Superior and Duluth.

A beautiful poem, well written, so the reader can easily imagine the sights, sounds, and scents of the scene, almost as if one was there, and it sounds quite lovely.
Note: "Tourists" plural needed. "Blasts its horn" (no apostrophe for this possessive form).
Best wishes for your entry.
Wendy

Dear Mystery Writer,

Well, you've gone and done it now. You just set the bar for all the other entrants in the contest. Tsk, tsk. If you entered too soon - so that they have a chance to see this - you may not get many contenders! hahaha

A beautiful, beautiful scene to share with us. Thanks and good luck!

What a lovely rhyming poem with meter. Your descriptions are so vivid and fond that I find myself even wanting to go to Lake Superior now! The part about seagulls eating expensive popcorn was hilarous.

    Thank you, it's all true! I've even fed them on occasion and regretted it after all my popcorn was gone. Thank you for such a wonderful review. :)
