Best Canadian Poems

You are Malala


You have no more reason for fear
For the world now holds you dear
Your humble voice, speaking of others
You too a pearl, adored by worldly mothers

Touching the spirit of kindred souls
You have shown our senior leaders
A child can lead even the elders
You have paved...

There's a guy on the Soup called Chris
Captain Hook or Peter Pan is his wish
Boy his Blogs are so good
By this Canadian dude
His information sure is the Biz

So, Justin Trudeau's gonna retire
(something Canadians did desire). 
But he's left a big mess,
and Trump's causing stress!
It's a political dumpster fire!

WE ARE CANADIAN, EH?

We came across the Bering Strait twelve thousand years ago. 
We didn't linger long up there – 'twas 99 below!
We wandered south while looking for a Timmy's 'round each bend,
Just something in our DNA - we are  Canadian!

We are our Founding...

They stand tall like a monument, the wayfarer’s journey guide
Rough stones shaped into human form, the meaning to unhide,
Inuits first carefully piled these stones, the meaning becomes clear,
Traditionally “you are on the right path” or “someone was here”.

These unworked stones were used for survival and...

Common Loon we love the most
Can be seen from coast to coast
Across this land gliding on lakes
All across Canada the route it takes

Nesting on islands surrounded by sea
This bird Canadian easy to see
Floats so easily dives for fish
Just as common our Friday dish

A hoot and...

Chilled to the bone, this winter sucked
More than this guy could bear
Canadian eh! Should be used to this stuff
Patience? Got none left to spare

Never, if I live to be a hundred and ten
Do I want to experience that again
A winter not meant for human endurance
Been...

Canadian bacon
In stores for the takin
Brought home for the makin

Real eggs on the side
Over easy on me
Canadian bacon
Sweet harmony

Canadian Bacon
More meat to the round
Canadian Bacon
More love to the pound

Thanksgiving Day for me is very nice,
   I do what my mother did and her mother.
      A gathering of family in a circle of eternal love,
         with food a part...

Sprayed on a wall was the word "Eh"
Now that's Canadian I would say
When it comes to graffiti and the cold
We got the paint the paint that can hold

Checking out this urban story
You might even find the word "Sorry"
Canadians they say are polite 
Sprawled on a...

Happy Thanksgiving to all you Canucks
I'd send you a card and maybe some bucks
but I'm broke
that's no joke
Stay close to the fire and wear your mukluks...

Normally civil amongst ourselves.
Knowing the alternative benefits no one.

Accepting of other people and willing to try and understand them.
This, the glue that binds us.

Grateful for the peace we enjoy.
Remembering it came with a price.

Aware we are generally decent people.
An ideal the world aspires to.

Oh, this...

A down day I'm having
They are certainly rare
No real reason
Not very happy I declare

Just one of those day
The approach of the cold
Could it be winter
Could be I suppose

Each year round this time
I'm afflicted by this
The on come of winter
The warmth I will miss

I'm aware of...

Winter's here, I'll be cold for months
Each year it's the same old thing
The cold never used to bother me much
Can't wait till that first day of Spring

Guess it's age that's made the difference
Our law says I must love the snow
Canadian, that's why, but I've had...
