Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Lincoln Park Zoo

The city of Chicago life

Is time and place that's hard to find

Absence of any stress and strife.

But one time and place comes to mind,

Lincoln Park Zoo, wildlife for all,

A botanical garden and

An arboretum too, to call

Upon nature in acreage spanned,

To give a seeker of peace some

Of sights and sounds and smells to share

Of natural wonders brought from

Simply connecting with them there.

Lincoln Park Zoo, a time and place,

To find joyful peace to embrace.
