Darlene De Beaulieu Poet Free verse

Harrison Park

Harrison Park is large
It has a trailer park
The people camp out
They spend their summer
 
In this park is a restaurant
All the food is home made
This place is always packed
They are enjoying their meal

The park has visitors
Rain or shine people come
To visit the small zoo
To see animals

There are cages with birds
They are different species 
A partridge waits to show
His pretty feathers spread

For evryone to see
he likes to display them
For everyone to see
To show off his colors

Dennis Spilchuk July 23, 2020 at 9:22 AM Nicely done Darlene; Memorable memories of Harrison Park back in the 70s. The chalet was lovely & one winter the place caught on fire. Dennis Spilchuk July 24, 2020 at 10:49 PM Definitely, it was fixed up. But, back then it was the place to be, especially in winter. The Owen Sound Winter Carnival, chalet roasts of hot dogs and marshmallows, music, dancing etc. It was just a fun place to go to. And James Alexander Tucker, a great Cdn. poet from Owen Sound whose legend still lives on. Darlene De Beaulieu July 23, 2020 at 10:11 AM Hello Denis Spilchuk,oh how sad! Was the Chalet rebuilt? How are you doing? I do hope that you are keeping well. Enjoy your day my friend.

Thomas Wells May 20, 2020 at 11:18 PM Hi Darlene, It feels like I've been there! I love this :-) Enjoy your day. Darlene De Beaulieu May 21, 2020 at 7:17 AM Hello Thomas Wells, Thomas this park is in Owen Sound Ontario. It is a huge park. It has a camping ground. It has a small zoo. Dog shows are held there. It also has buildings from the past. I miss it. I lived in Wiarton. Owen Sound is a 1 hour drive from there. Have a nice day my friend.
