Line Gauthier Poet Ode

O Canada

O
Canada
Land of the free 
Fields and lakes and hills
A history built on hard work and sweat
Pious generations with ambition
Charting progress with pride 
Humble and persevering
World class contenders
We stand proud
Canada Day
Each day
Eh!

Sam Kauffman January 20, 2020 at 2:22 PM Hi Line, Congratulations on your delightful write. Love the format - you do that so well and the "eh" is just fun at the end of the poem. Is just seems to ask for our agreement! Line Gauthier January 21, 2020 at 12:52 AM Thanks for your lovely compliment, Sam. Most appreciated.

Carolyn Devonshire January 20, 2020 at 1:15 PM Line, I admire the short lines in your ode and the way you were able to incorporate elements of Canada's national anthem. The "Eh" at the end made me smile. Congratulations on a second-place win! Best wishes, Carolyn Line Gauthier January 21, 2020 at 12:53 AM Thank you so much, Carolyn. Most appreciated.
