"Oh, love the stained-glass windows, pointed arches, 
ornate rooms, wild gardens and wrapped porches "

____________________________

       Ottawa, Ontario
once a desolate snowfield
      now, a city of Gothic 
and Victorian buildings downtown 
with stunning glassed towers
         a mingling of architecture's
copper-roofed Victorian homes
      and just vintage old
                stained-glass windows
mixed with the modern
and huge wrapped porch homes
on quiet, peaceful tree-lined streets
    like stepping back in time
             parks of solitude, inspiring
streams where swans and ducks
           float and glide
   neighbourhood's of new homes
just one beautiful city in
            Canada
