A Pioneer Day Haiku Poem
Snow-covered Ridges (A Poem in Memory of the Pioneers)
Pioneer Day, which takes place on July 24, is a Utah state holiday. It's celebrated with parades and festivities all over the state. This particular Pioneer Day haiku poem was written in honor of those courageous souls of the Martin Handcart Company, who crossed the plains and were trapped in winter weather at Martin's Cove, Wyoming.
