My Horse Alberta

Alberta has pulled me many miles,
her hoofs are placed one after another,
But on this night of Christmas Eve,
She pills a load of hay behind her.
So many young smiles with laughter,
Candles flickering in windows,
With snow deep upon the ground,
Alberta pulled all behind her,
With Christmas songs being sung.
Fireplaces lit with stockings hung,
Sights of snow drifting to the

Alberta Texas Florida …
We call her Bert for short
Was born near the Alamo
And soon brought to Port
Salerno in Florida … duh!
Where she contracted Covid
And languished in the ICU
Lucky to find a respirator
To no avail, it was a zoo,
So they finally took her off
In a unit close to the Gulf
And she became a statistic
Ten thousand and

Premium MemberAlberta Texas Florida - What

Alberta…..they probably just shook their heads and muttered “ey?”

Texas…probably rode it down, roped it, branded it and sent it on its way.

Florida….they probably took it fishing... in the Everglades…’nuf said!

Premium MemberAlberta Stokes Up

Alberta likes to stoke up on some beer
That way, she conquers each one of her fears
   She can fly, even die
   Without batting an eye
But she still won't undergo a pap smear

Premium MemberApril In Alberta

The snow is gently drifting down,
Not like two days ago,
When it was blowing sideways,
In a heavy dump of snow.

All the snow had melted.
The birds are coming back.
The flowers just now breaking ground,
And this dumps in our lap.

My lilies were up almost a foot.
Now they're laying flat.
I put some paper over them,
Hoping they'll come back.

The paper

Spring is here at last.
The first buds struggle to rise.
A sudden freeze comes.

The new buds wither.
Birds seek shelter from the cold.
Spring in Alberta.

Temperatures vary
Warm, cold, freezing in one day.
Never a dull moment here.

Premium MemberWelcome To Alberta

Winter's passed the snow is gone.
The weather's mild and sunny.
I dream sweet dreams of lazy days,
And eating clover honey.

Then suddenly the wind comes up.
First rain and then wet snow.
This morning it was plus fifteen,
And now it's ten below.

Welcome To Alberta

Cavan Lake Alberta

Cavan Lake, Alberta, that’s where I’m bound to be
You can’t beat the splendor of that wild serenity
Trees are all around me, there’s a robin at my door
And Cavan Lake is just outside, a hundred steps or more

Everywhere I look I see the big Alberta sky
And there comes Laura Lee with that sparkle in her eye

Flax Field In Alberta

FLAX    FIELD    IN    ALBERTA



Suddenly  out of the blue we come by
A lazuline flax field under the cloudless  indigo sky,
Filled to overflowing with  perfume dry.
In the steady warm air, the smell of  linens 
And the small delicate petals’  nutty  fragrance.


As the

Survival of the Fittest of Alberta(Nov 10 2006)

Should my city have been treated like a hotel?
should someone have checked for the vacancy or no vacancy
before we let a bunch of rich people move in
to jack up our rental rates before Christmas
and send five thousand people homeless?
Should we have said sorry but no vacancy?
we have jobs...and we'll start from the ground up

November 9th 2006 Edmonton Alberta Canada(Time Capsule Poem)

in my home city
but word of mouth and the people who work in the centers
estimate its more like 5000
