Minnehaha Falls cascades into a chasm that it formed eons ago. It is located in Minneapolis, just 5 minutes from the Minneapolis/St. Paul Internatrional Airport (MSP). The creek flows into the Mississippi River about a half mile down stream from here. Tourists can reach this spot below the falls from three directions. Weddings are frequently performed on the bridges above or below it.

This poem was written in a Free Style format.
A Free Style Poem is a subset of Free Verse. It has no rhyme scheme, tempo, or meter pattern. It just flows with the words. The author adds dimension in how the poem is felt, through the use of pace and pause, created in how the words are arranged on the page. The distinction between Free Style and Free Verse is that Free Style contains some rhyme while Free Verse does not. It rhymes in places as the author wants, but not necessarily consistently.

In this poem, I tried to make each stanza a little replica of a waterfall.
