| | From Ridge People THE VALLEY curves like a bridge-span to the sky. | |
| Blue granite stew-pans spill pink begonias along the road. | |
| The town hall, blazing red, focuses the red stubble of fields | |
| Which stretch away to gold-stacked corn-stalks, | |
| And Wisconsin hillspiled cubes of red and yellow. | 5 |
| The sunset catches the landscape in layers. | |
| Its amber floats a banner of pastels around the town. | | | | |
