Great job with this post. I'm right next door in Wisconsin. Have not been there either. Shopping isn't my "thing." However, like you say, for the experience it would be fun--especially the eating part. Marilyn

I like this poem, because you talk about one of my happy places. We only Live 200 miles from Mall Of America and have been there lots of times. The problem is, we usually don't have money when we go there, or if we do it goes very fast. Love it though. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi! I suppose I'm good at daydreaming. Mall trips are the same to me close to home. God bless you. Hearts & hugs, Sunnilicious

A very well-written rhyming poem about the biggest mall in the world where there are so many shops it will take more than one day to go through them all.

This poem, Mall Vacation, is a quick description of this iconic mall in Minnesota. I went there once when I lived in Iowa. My kids rode on the Snoopy Train which ran through the center of the complex.

Found this: There are plenty (of) stores at this mall,

Hi Sunni,

Ha ha ha! Sounds like you had fun there. I never wanted to fight the Six Flags traffic to go to that mall, so I got it all done at Woodfield. Lol Very nicely written. Thanks for sharing. Jan :-)

    Hi Alicia,

    Oh, I mean it - I generally avoided Woodfield like the plague as well... Not a shopper I guess. :-)

Your poem is a bit like a rap but obviously more poetic...bigger is better...smaller is smaller...braver is better...better is better? ... repeating is repeating...perhaps...

    Repeats are a way of rhyming and/or poetic device. Thank you :)

Boy, that is a big Mall. I might say, enjoy it while it lasts. They say malls are becoming a thing of the past. I don't understand why because they protect us from the elements and offer a one-stop-shop. I really liked your piece and I think everyone can identify with it. Good luck with the contest!!!

I would LOVE to go there!
I think my son went there years ago
on his way to Alaska.
He's been everywhere!
A mall that size should have
a hotel, ha ha...
because it would probably
take a few days to see every thing!!
Love this!
Blessings...

    Hi Judy! They have hotel packages to the mall. Your son went... I'm upset. I wanna go. My poem would be written a lot better because of the experience. Someday, I'll visit. Maybe you too. Thank you. Hugs, Alicia :)
