A Poem About Salt Lake

I am supposed to write a two-line poem about Salt Lake City in January for Spencer. This is proving much more difficult than one might imagine...

Maybe start by reading some haikus?

How about Pound's "In a Station of the Metro?"
2-line poem containing a world of depth.

I love this poem and I could send you a one-page explication I wrote of it last year, if you think it would help you.
