Haiku Friday: The best state
What is the best state of them all?
Sure (according to the song) Louisiana has the best coach, best team, and best ethics laws, but a lot of it is pretty depressing. So, let's hear some other opinions-- in haiku!
Here is mine:

Now it is your turn! Just make it 5 syllables/7 syllables/5 syllables, and if you win, you will get your bio here on Monday!

I don't like either rain or beavers, so Oregon is out. South Dakota's appeal is secret, apparently. Washington? Eesh. Space Needle creeps me out.
My favorite state?
Ah, beauty and enchantment-
You bet! New Jersey...

Thanks people! It used to be that I wrote one measly poem a year. Now I'm writing at least once a week. And it is delicious to read what everyone else has written.
