An original poem created by artificial intelligence platform ChatGPT and directed by NOTL resident Bruce Gitelman.

In Niagara-on-the-Lake, the winter’s cold embrace

Held firm, with icy grip and snowy face

But as the days grew longer, the sun shone bright

And slowly but surely, the ice began to take flight

The snowmen and snowflakes began to melt away

As the world around us slowly began to sway

And soon the trees began to bud, the flowers to bloom

As spring arrived, bringing with it hope and room

For summer, with all its warmth and light

The days growing longer, the world a delight

In Niagara-on-the-Lake, the promise of fun

Is just around the corner, waiting to be begun

The wine will flow, the gardens will grow

The laughter and joy will overflow

As we bask in the warmth of the summer sun

Our hearts filled with hope, our spirits undone

So let us welcome the change of the season

With open arms, and hearts filled with reason

For in Niagara-on-the-Lake, we know

That winter may come and go, but spring and summer will always show.
