love, summer,
Beneath a star studded...black velvet sky
I see myself...as I am...in your eyes
Moon beams...abreast...the Bay of Evermore
Where rolling waves come...to break on the shore
Embers still glowing...inflamed once again
Dance to the din...of the Ocean's refrain
Sweat...wood and brine...a scent simply divine
A perfume of passion...misting my mind
You and me on a trip...of ecstasy
In the heat of the night...cooled by a breeze
Where those rolling waves...of emotions...ride
In the wake of a never ending tide
Where the moon and the stars...so high above
Look down...in silence...on our summer love.

Poet.
People find me loyal, softhearted, gregarious, and an intellectual.
I was born the third eldest of ten sisters and two brothers.
I love my husband, our family, children and ordinary folks.
My poems express empathy, compassion and indignation.
I fear a bleak future, wrought by global warming, and over population.
And if it were possible, I'd love to meet Jesus, an alien and Nikola Tesla.
A prolific writer, I'm a proud resident of Toronto Ontario, Canada.
Dreamer.

A ROSE FOR MY MOM IN HEAVEN
FOR EVERY ROSE I BRING TO YOU
IS NEVER ENOUGH TO PAY,
FOR ALL THE LOVE YOU HAVE GIVEN ME
EACH AND EVERY DAY.
FOR EVERY TEARDROP THAT WILL FLOW
COULD NEVER BRING YOU BACK.
BUT ALL MY MEMORIES THAT I HOLD
WILL ALWAYS BE INTACT.
THIS ROSE IS JUST A SIMPLE WAY
OF SHOWING YOU HOW I FEEL
AND PERHAPS SOMEDAY AS TIME GOES BY
THE LONELY DAYS WILL HEAL.
YOUR FACE IS JUST A MEMORY NOW
THATS STORED INSIDE MY HEART
AND THERE WILL COME A DAY, DEAR MOM
WHEN WE WILL NEVER PART.

There was this teal duck and Canada goose,
That 'neath a cloistered Colorado spruce,
Enjoyed a lusty-ful tryst,
Ending up in a quaint twist!
Their offspring sported feathers of chartreuse!

I know you are kind and tender,
all these made your pen much sweeter.
Oh,yes!Tell me how is Aaron,
your bundle of joy,little grandson!
For him all my blessings and love,
cell phone ringing,my time is up.
Tell me one thing just secretly,

Poem about Sudbury, Ontario, Canada
A skyline for a slag line.
A glowing melting rock.
An acid burning slag dump.
The miners on the clock!
The sunset meets the hill.
A seam of orange and fire.
Black smoke ascending from it.
The thickest form of mire.
A cauldron tipped and flowing.
A soup's heat puddle still.
The river red thin ribbons
and our love a slag dump spill.

A day of autumn beauty,
Beautiful in every way,
Canada is a land blessed,
Dance of the leaves, when the wind blows,
Each person thankful for Thanksgiving reunions,
Free to celebrate and be together,
Goodness given to us by the Lord,
Houses and apartments warmed and comfortable,
I like being there, at home,
Jay the beautiful bluebird that sits in the pine tree,
Kindness everywhere, a land to be proud,
Love and friendship prevails with every good neighbor,
Miracle, God's blessing,
New faith and days of worship at church,
October days and nights, the fading of summer,
Parents and children gather for Thansgiving at church and house.

Memory's not the best

Monster hugs from Canada are on the way

Canada has welcomed refugees by a plane load
A dry eye was not observed as compassion flowed
Poor unfortunate folks
Such sadness it evokes
Forced to leave everything to travel a new road

autumn, farm, heart, hope, imagery, september,
The wall around my heart
Slowly began to crumble
Like the Berlin Wall
Of my ancestry.
I kept my steady pace
Upon the rusty leaf strewn dike
Letting the scents of autumn
Linger upon me.
As the flooded cranberry fields
Came into view
Surrounding the out buildings
Like a miniature lake,
The canada geese glide swiftly
Upon its mirror image.
I began to love myself
As the devine being I am,
To open my heart
To the love within me
Surrounded by light,
Autumn colours and scents,
And the beauty of nature around me.

On the top of the berm
One Canadian soldier stood
His head bowed
Heavily understood
We sign up to do
What the duty ensues
To our flag we obey
Our enemies, we pursue
This tor of abroad
In a distant land
Four lives so free
Leaving families bland
As we awake tomorrow
Knowing of yesterdays gone
We do for the right
For on this world we belong
We are a nation of many
Some days we will scar
Of Canada
Canadians we are
My tribute to the many Canadian soldiers who have fought for not only their
Countries freedom, but to preserve world peace, i bow to the living and fallen.

She used to wear
tasty strawberry gloss lipstick
on her soft warm tender lips
and sometimes Canada dry
for me to sip
It lured me like a moth to a flame
But even without
her sweet kisses drove me insane
Trying to quench the unquenchable thirst
of hearts desire.

Poem about Sudbury, Ontario, Canada
The bush out back
where children play.
some trees, some rocks.
A love to say.
The house out front.
It's porch cement.
The dog tied up.
His dropping pent.
Your parents home
where light is warm.
You come in late,
despite alarm.

Oh! Canada, you have traversed,
A hundred and fifty years!!,
Giving life and hope,
To a land that was once,
Left out as an ice desert,
You brought the whole world together,
To enjoy the benefits of democratic living,
Away from cultural conflicts,
And political turmoils,
Accruing the skills of,
All lands and people,
With mutual love and understanding,
Finding the joy of peaceful co-existence,
A veritable heaven on earth!!!.

And I heard the geese
Not the domesticated geese
Nor the local geese
But the Canada Geese
And it was Valentine's Day
What an act of love
The Geese came this way
Winter will soon be gone
And Spring will bud
I heard my Savior say
Hope, there's hope in dark hours
Spring will present her flowers..
Yesterday around 2 P.M.
I heard a flock of Canada Geese
On Valentine's Day

His knowledge catches fire.
A flame, a burning ache,
spreads from the scalp
to the sole of his mind.
Later, he finds that flame
dead in his distant daughter’s
wound. If he tells it aloud,
people will call him mad.
Feelings are sometimes
synchronized in the track
of telepathy. His mind
receives signals again.
His call surprises his
spouse beyond the sea
the moment she muses
about him. Cells of souls
merge together, sharing
the distant pangs and joys.
Mind has been linked
with extension cords.
It burns with the power of
deepest love. There’s a
down-trodden sense, waging
within for recognition.

Years ago, there was an instrumental hit so terrific.
Composer Eddie Heywood wrote the music
Performed by Hugo Winterhalter and his Orchestra,
the music vicariously sent us to a winter in Canada.
Singer Andy Williams added lyrics to the melody.
With Andy’s voice, the song sounds heavenly.
I would love to be up there even though I don’t ski.
A sunset in Canadian mountains is what I want to see.

weather,
Watching travelogs about the tropics
I yearn for the warm sunny beaches
Don't get me wrong I still love Canada
But miss those gentle summer breezes
The fresh sea air drifting across the water
Soft and exhilarating sun on my skin
Heaven like feeling matched by my mind
Always accompanied by a grin
Too old now to expect things to change
Will forever be an unfulfilled dream
But I can still dream about the tropics
Still can till I finally run out of steam

family,
Grandfather,
time's not been too kind,
I've been gone many years,
and there's hardly a sign,
that I too, am your son,
born of equal blood,
but too thick to run,
escaping to other countries,
God, father, we're fools...
my Canada, your Ukraine,
I'll tell you the truth:
we have never left.
And now,
as the clock's ticking down,
the stones in your throat,
leave fate only to drown,
and I know Cancer's fain to kill,
but grandpa, I love you,
and your story always will
live forever,
in my words.

10th grade, 11th grade, 12th grade, 9th grade, feelings, i am, identity,
Born April twenty-ninth, nineteen forty-nine
in the small city of Bathurst, New Brunswick, Canada;
I am the third eldest of thirteen children, ten girls and three boys.
The product of a semi-dysfunctional family;
my upbringing was influenced by a physically abusive father,
offset by a loving, nurturing mother.
I'm gay, happily married, comfortably retired, and like to write poems.
My poetry touches on pain, fear, love, and social issues.
I tap my life experiences to convey emotions and explore feelings;
thus, my heart and soul are on display for the perusal of the world.
